Network Table
This table contains all generic protocol information entered
through the add (ip, ipx and appletalk) network command.
Filter and Associated Tables
Filters may be created to control packets you permit to pass
through given interfaces. You can create filters that work on a
per-user or per-interface basis. Filters that you create are stored
in the Filter Table. Also, the Access Filter Table determines
whether user filters take precedence over interface filters.
Routes Table
This table contains static and dynamic routing information.
Dynamic routes are updated by broadcasts received from other
routing devices on the network using routing protocols such as
RIP, IPX RIP, SAP, and RTMP. Static routes are added to the
table by hand. A static route to a given site will override a
dynamic route.
Static routes to a given site are required when the site is not
running a dynamic routing protocol or when the NETServer is
not listening for dynamic routing protocol broadcasts on the
given interface. Without dynamic routing protocol messaging,
the NETServer cannot gather information on the location of
other routers, gateways, and remote hosts and must know
exactly where to send a packet.
SNMP Configuration Tables
The NETServer provides support for the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) version 1 and industry standard
MIB-II variables. These variables are fully described in your
MIB-II documentation.
The SNMP Community Table stores information about which
SNMP servers (if any) are permitted to make SET and GET
requests, as well as Read and Write Communities.
The SNMP Trap Community Table saves names and addresses
of trap communities.
