Logging in through SNMP
You can run SNMP on an NMS to access the device MIB and perform GET and SET operations to
manage and monitor the device.
An NMS runs the SNMP client software. It offers a user-friendly interface to facilitate network
management. An agent is a program that resides in the device. It receives and handles requests from the
NMS. An NMS is a manager in an SNMP enabled network, whereas agents are managed by the NMS.
The NMS and agents exchange information through the SNMP protocol. At present, the device supports
multiple NMS programs, such as IMC and CAMS.
By default, you cannot log in to the device through NMS. To enable NMS login, log in to the device via
the console port and make the configurations described in the following table.
The following table shows the configuration requirements of NMS login:
Object Requirements
Device
Configure the IP address of the device’s management interface.
Make sure the device and the NMS can reach each other.
By default, the IP address of the management interface is 192.168.0.1/24.
Configure SNMP settings.
NMS Configure the NMS. For more information, see the NMS manual.
For a firewall module, you must configure its management Ethernet interface’s IP address on the network
device.
The firewall module and network device are integrated to work as one device. From the perspective of an
SNMP UDP domain-based NMS, however, the network device and firewall module are separate SNMP
agents. They have different software systems and manage their own MIB objects. To access an SNMP
agent, the NMS must get the IP address of the management interface on the agent. By default, the
firewall module does not have an IP address, so you need to specify an IP address for the firewall
module.
To configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface of the firewall module on the network
device:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view system-view N/A
2. Specify the IP address of the
management Ethernet
interface of the firewall
module
oap management-ip ip-address
slot slot-number
Not specified by default.
CAUTION:
Before configuring the IP address of the management Ethernet interface of the firewall module on the
network device, you must configure the same IP address on the firewall module. Otherwise, the NMS
cannot access the firewall module by using the IP address.
