Compiling the MIB

After the unit has been connected to the SNMP management station by
one of the methods described above, the unit may be “pinged” to ensure
connectivity. The Centum 56 Series product can be managed after a
successful “ping” test.

The unit’s SNMP agent is equipped with MIB-II and the RFC-1232 DS1
MIB. These may be managed without any MIB compilation. However, to
manage the device fully, the Verilink Centum 56 Series MIB must be
installed. The MIB is supplied on a 3.5" DOS floppy
(file names: vercsu1.mib and vercsu4.mib).

The MIB file must be copied onto the management station's hard disk and
then compiled. This task will be different depending on which
management software being used. A MIB browse function must be
present. If such is not the case, then a custom NMS application must be
designed for the management platform.

Providing SNMP
Manager Access

This section describes how to provide SNMP Manager access with a
terminal server, router, direct connection, or dial-up connection.

With a terminal server

In Figur e6-3, the terminal server is permitting Ac cessSy stem100 to
access the LAN for SNMP management purposes. If multiple Access
System 56 units are co-located, they all may access the LAN through the
same server (using a multi-port server).
