Device Management via User Interfaces MN/MRASIRCDC.IOM
4.6 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) (Future)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) has not been enabled on this product and
is planned as a future release. However, when enabled, SNMP allows an SNMP Manager
such as OpenView or Castle Rock to be used to remotely manage the ASI-R in an
automated fashion.
The ASI-R supports SNMP versions 1 and 2 (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2). Two types of
Management Information Bases (MIBs) are supported: MIB II and private MIB.
MIB II is the default MIB that is used to gather generic information about the unit, such
as system ‘up’ time, packets sent or received on an interface, etc. MIB II is designed for
only read access, not write access. To read and write configuration parameters over
SNMP requires a private MIB. The private MIB allows parameters to be set on the
Web, Terminal, or Telnet interfaces.
The elements Object Identifiers (OIDs) of the MIB will be listed in the appendix of a
future revision of this manual. CEFD has been assigned an SNMP designator by the
IEEE, and will be found in all elements of the ASI-R’s MIB.
NOTE
The assigned designator for CEFD (enterprise OID) is 1.3.6.4.1.18723.
The ASI-R supports configurable community strings for added security. As a security
precaution, passwords cannot be remotely queried over SNMP.
For SNMP access from a remote network via the public Internet, a VPN connection to the
ASI-R will need to be established using third-party VPN client/server access.
The default community string for the public elements is
public
and the private
community string is
private
