APPENDIX

SNMP MIB and Trap Information

This appendix describes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management objects and

traps sent by the CDS. The topics covered in this appendix include:

• Overview, page D-1

• SNMP Management Objects and Traps, page D-2

• RFC Compliance, page D-6

Overview

You can manage the servers by way of SNMP from a Network Management System (NMS). To

implement SNMP management, the servers must be configured with a management IP address, SNMP

community strings, and contact information.

For information about configuring the server for SNMP communication, see the “Configuring the SNMP

Agent” section on page 4-121.

Note We recommend configuring a VLAN for management traffic.

SNMP management features on the servers include:

• SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3

• Standard MIBs

SNMP Agent

The SNMP agent of the server uses certain variables that are included in a Cisco Management

Information Base (MIB) file.

The SNMP agent is controlled by the following commands:

# service snmpd start

# service snmpd stop

# service snmpd restart

The snmpd service rc script automatically configures the snmpd service to be started in Linux run-levels

5 and 6. To make any changes to this behavior, the chkconfig or ntsysv commands can be used. The

following command configures snmpd to be managed by using the chkconfig command:
