Remote YesWare Management using SNMP A-3
Software Release 2.30 YesWare Applications User’s Guide 08-01016-01
Using YesWare SNMP
In order for a network manager to manage the YesWare SNMP Agent, the user
must load the Elastic Networks private MIBs into their SNMP Network
Manager (e.g., HP OpenView) using the procedure accompanying their
Network Manager software.
This procedure to load and compile a MIB is specific to the Network Manager
software. The procedure usually consists of simply copying the MIB file to a
certain directory and selecting a menu item to load and compile the MIB.
Users should refer to the documentation provided with their Network Manager
software for the procedure to load and compile MIBs.
YesWare SNMP web interface
The YesWare SNMP module provides functions to install, upgrade, stop, start,
and edit the configuration parameters for the YesWare SNMP Agent. In
addition, the SNMP module contains a function that retrieves the most current
version of the EtherLoop MIB text file used to manage the modems.
Editing the SNMP configuration parameters
The Configure SNMP function contains variables to set the timeout value for
waiting on a response from a modem as well as the frequency to poll the
modems. If traps are desired, the user must enter the IP address to receive the
traps. The SNMP Agent should be restarted after changing a configuration
variable. Table A-2 shows an example configuration with explanations.

Configuration
Explanation
TRAPIP = 10.255.255.125 Sets the IP address to send traps. If blank, traps are
disabled.
TIMEOUT = 2 Sets timeout to 2 seconds. This is the time to wait
before timing out when trying to communicate with a
modem. If variable not present the value defaults to 3
seconds.
POLLTIME = 120 Sets poll time to 120 seconds. This is the time to wait
between polling for modem data. If variable not
present or less than 30, the value defaults to 30
seconds.
