Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Basic SNMP Reference Guide 5
Chapter 1
Description
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a light-weight
protocol designed for remote management and monitoring of
infrastructure devices. The Scalar
®
i40 and Scalar i80 libraries provide
SNMP support so you can use a framework application to monitor the
status of the library. Using SNMP, you can be alerted of numerous library
events.
The Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries also provide informational
troubleshooting procedures from their own reporting system, called the
diagnostic ticket system. Diagnostic tickets enable library administrators
to diagnose specific library events.
SNMP Functionality Available to Remote Applications
Both the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries support SNMP GET queries
and unicast TRAPs (which can be sent only to registered recipients), that
enable you to monitor library status from a remote application. SET
commands are currently not enabled on the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80.
