About SNMP
Tools such as TANDBERG Management Suite
(TMS) or HP OpenView may act as SNMP
Network Management Systems (NMS). They
allow you to monitor your network devices,
including the VCS, for conditions that might
require administrative attention.
The VCS supports the most basic MIB-II tree
(.1.3.6.1.2.1) as defined in
The information made available by the VCS
includes the following:
system uptime
•
system name
•
location
•
contact
•
interfaces
•
disk space, memory, and other machine-
•
specific statistics.
To allow the VCS to be monitored by an SNMP
NMS (including TMS), you must
Enable
SNMP
on the VCS and provide the name of the
SNMP community
within which it resides. You
may optionally provide the name of a
System
contact
and the physical
Location
of the
system for reference by administrators when
following up on queries.
By default, SNMP is
Disabled
with a
SNMP
community name
of
public
.
The VCS does not support SNMP traps
or SNMP sets, therefore it cannot be
managed via SNMP.
To configure the VCS’s SNMP settings:

Overview
!
SNMP is disabled by default, because
of the potentially sensitive nature of the
information involved. Do not enable
SNMP on a VCS on the public internet or in any
other environment where you do not want to
expose internal system information.
