7.6.4 SNMP interface
7.6.4.1 Introduction
SNMP-based management was initially targeted for TCP/IP routers and hosts.
However, the SNMP-based management approach is inherently generic so that it can
be used to manage many types of systems. This approach has become increasingly
popular for remote management and control solutions for various SSPA systems.
Teledyne Paradise Datacom devices with Ethernet interface support the most popular
SNMPv1 format (SMIv1, RFC1155), SNMP Get, SNMP GetNext and SNMP Set
commands. SNMP Traps are currently unsupported.
In order to utilize SNMP protocol, the user has to enable this feature through the front
panel or by remote serial protocol. SNMP uses the UDP fixed port 161 for sending and
receiving requests.
The definition of managed objects described in MIB. The MIB file is available for down-
load from the Software Downloads section of the Paradise Datacom web site, http://
www.paradisedata.com.
As with the serial protocol, the RCP2 MIB allows access to a remote SSPA (default
state) as well as to the RCP unit itself. To switch between those devices’ MIBs, the
proper Device Type has to be selected (OID -1.3.6.1.4.1.20712.1.4).
