Additional DTC Configuration
Configuring SNMP
1. Enter the IP address of the SNMP manager in the “IP Address”
field.
The IP address can be any valid individual IP address, or enter
*.*.*.* or @.@.@.@ to indicate that any IP address is allowed
access.
2. Enter the name of the SNMP community to which the DTC belongs
in the “Community Name” field.
The community name is a maximum of 80 alphanumeric characters
and is case-sensitive.
3. The “Read Only” field defines the access mode to MIB objects.
Enter a Y to restrict the SNMP manager to read-only access; enter
an N if MIB objects can be modified by the SNMP manager.
If two or more managers are configured with the same community
name, the “Read Only” field must be the same for each manager.
4. The “MIB View” field defines which SNMP parameters can be
accessed by the SNMP manager. Enter 1 for DTC MIB or 2 for
MIB-II.
If two or more managers are configured with the same community
name, the “MIB View” field must be the same for each manager.
5. After you have configured the authorization filters, press the
[Save Data] function key.
Note: Partially-configured filters are not acceptable.
6. Press the
[Go To MIB] key to configure SNMP MIB parameters or the
[Go To Trap] key to configure trap destinations. If you have completed
configuration of MIB parameters and trap destinations, press the
[Prior Screen] key to return to the DTC Configuration screen, or press
[Validate DTS/LINK] to validate your configuration if you have
completed configuration for your DTCs.
Configuring SNMP MIB Parameters
To configure SNMP MIB parameters and enable/disable authentication
traps, access the SNMP MIB Configuration screen. This screen can be
accessed by pressing the
[Go To MIB] key at the SNMP Authorization
Filter Configuration screen or the SNMP Trap Destination
Configuration screen.
The SNMP MIB Configuration screen for host-based management is
shown below, in Figure 8-5.
