SNMP Managemen
This appendix describes the management of Centum Series units
equipped with the Verilink embedded SNMP agent.
Connecting the Centum Series
This section describes two options for connecting the Centum Series units
for use with SNMP management.
Option #1 The Centum Series comes equipped with two RS-232 asynchronous ports
intended for the purpose of device management. The AUX connector is
intended for use with a VT-100 style ASCII terminal and supports menus
for the user to edit the device configuration and diagnostic options. The
NMS/PRT connector is intended to be used as a printer port (non-SNMP
version or the NMS port (SNMP version).
The Centum Series unit connects to an SNMP network management
station such as HP Open Vie

or Sun’s NetManager

by either LAN or
modem. Either method must support UDP/IP/SLIP over RS-232. The
most straightforward method would be to connect the Centum Series
NMS port to an intelligent port on either a router, hub, or terminal server.
The intelligent port must be configured to run SLIP protocol. The port
speed must be set as well as the IP address for the port and the port’s
remote device (in this case, the Centum Series unit).
The NMS Port on the DNS must be configured from either the terminal or
front panel display. The port must first be configured for SNMP NMS,
and then the baud rate for the port must be configured. The final option is
for the user to configure the internet address that the Centum Series unit
will respond to once connected to the LAN (via terminal server) or
modem. Reference the diagram for the proper connection.
