Maintenance: DECT Monitor

6.3 SMNP

In order to manage a large network of IP DECT Base Stations, an SNMP agent is offered in each IP DECT Base Station.

· The SNMP agent responds to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c read requests for the standard MIB-II objects.

· The agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps ('coldStart', 'nsNotifyShutdown', 'authenticationFailure’ and

'nsNotifyRestart').

· Decoding SNMP messages with your network management system or MIB browser always requires the publicly

available IETF MIB definitions which can be downloaded.

SNMP Management Information

The SNMP agent responds to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c read requests for the standard MIB-II objects. The MIB-II contains

11 object groups, see MIB_II.

· sysLocation corresponds to the location configured via web service. If this location is not configured sysLocation is

set to “Location”.

· sysName is composed of MAC address and “IP Base Station” or “ADMM IP DECT Base Station” if the ADMM is

running on this IP Base Station.

· sysUpTime - This value indicates the running time of the IP Base Station application software. It does not indicate

the running time of the operating system which does not correspond to the operational IP Base Station state. This

value does not make a statement about the DECT network.

SNMP Traps

The agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps.

· It sends a 'coldStart' trap when it first starts up.

· It sends an enterprise-specific trap 'nsNotifyShutdown' when it stops.

· It send an 'authenticationFailure' trap when it receives an SNMP request using an unknown community name.

· It send an enterprise-specific trap 'nsNotifyRestart' after being reconfigured. This is instead of the standard

'coldStart' or 'warmStart' traps.

Decoding SNMP messages with your network management system or MIB browser always requires the publicly available

IETF MIB definitions.

· RFC1213-MIB

· RFC1212-MIB

· RFC1155-SMI

· SNMPv2-MIB

· SNMPv2-CONF

· SNMPv2-TC

· SNMPv2-SMI.

Enterprise-specific traps can be decoded using the definitions in:

· NET-SNMP-MIB

· NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB.
