Configuring the NMS

CAUTION:

The configuration on the NMS must be consistent with that on the agent. Otherwise, you cannot perform
corresponding operations.

Configure the SNMP version for the NMS as v1 or v2c, create a read-only community and name it public,

and create a read and write community and name it private. For how to configure the NMS, see the

manual for the NMS.

Verifying the configuration

After the above configuration, an SNMP connection is established between the NMS and the agent.
The NMS can get and configure the values of some parameters on the agent through MIB nodes.

If an idle interface on the agent is shut down or brought up, the NMS receives a trap information
sent by the agent.

SNMPv3 configuration example

Network requirements

The NMS (1.1.1.2/24) uses SNMPv3 to monitor and manage the interface status of the agent (.1.1.1/24),
and the agent automatically sends traps to report events to the NMS.
The NMS and the agent perform authentication when they set up an SNMP session. The authentication

algorithm is MD5 and the authentication key is authkey. The NMS and the agent also encrypt the SNMP

packets between them by using the DES algorithm and the privacy key prikey.
