SNMP
Configuration for SNMP
11-2 July 2004 Wide Bank 28 DS3 - Release 2.4
Configuration for SNMP
Several basic settings are required before you can use the SNMP facilities provided by the Wide Bank
28 DS3. Basic settings must be initially configured through the Command Line Interface (CLI). These
settings are the Wide Bank IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, NMS IP Address, system name,
location, and contact. The default get, set, and trap community strings are “public” and can be changed
by the SNMP manager after completing the basic configuration.
The Wide Bank 28 DS3 contains an SNMP MIB agent that supports RFC 1213 (general), RFC 1406
(DS1 and E1), and RFC 1407 (DS3).
The Wide Bank also contains Enterprise MIBs that enhances the SNMP operation of the Wide Bank
(see Carrier Access DS3 Multiplexer Enterprise MIBs on page 11-5).
In a point-to-point application with another Wide Bank 28 DS3 running in C-bit framing mode, the DS3
terminal-to-terminal data link can be used to remotely manage the far-end terminal. See Configuring IP
and PPP Addresses on page 6-15 for information on how to use PPP over the DS3 data link to establish
an SNMP session with a remote Wide Bank 28 DS3.
Basic Configuration Parameters
Wide Bank IP Address
The Internet address identifies the Wide Bank on a TCP/IP based network. This field is
required. Each Wide Bank on the network must have a unique IP address.
Subnet Mask
Networks that require further partitioning use subnet masks to perform subnet routing. These
values indicate which part of your IP address is a network address and which part is a node
address.
Default Gateway
This is the IP address of a default gateway on your logical network. A TCP/IP gateway (router)
allows you to communicate outside your local network (subnet) by forwarding information to
another network. The gateway must be on your logical network, and the network portion of the
address should be the same as the network portion of your IP address.
Network Management Station (NMS) IP Address
This is the address of the Network Management Station (NMS) that is used to manage the
SNMP sessions. This address is required by Wide Bank for reporting of trap events. There can
be as many as 3 NMS addresses configured.
System Name
The system Name is a string of up to 255 characters that is the assigned administrative name
for this managed node.
