Configuration 47
The PRISM 41TDM has an embedded SNMP agent supporting MIB-2 and a
proprietary DDS MIB. The SET command is supported and has the functionality
described below. The PRISM 41TDM also supports a single Telnet session.
Element
This field allows reviewing and modifying the SNMP addresses for the near-end or
far-end unit. The screen position on either unit is independent. If the unit is in the
DTE Port Parameters screen on the near-end unit, toggling the Element to Far
displays the last screen accessed on the far-end unit such as the Main Menu,
Utilities, Configuration, or Summary screen.
SNMP Sets
This field enables or disables the set commands (SNMP). Refer to Appendix A,
SNMP Agent, for detailed information on the available MIB variables.
TRAP IP Address
These six rows require numeric entries. Each row contains four 3 -digit numbers
which are separated by periods. Each of these numbers can range from 0 to 255.
These fields accept the IP address of a network device to which alarm reporting
traps are to be sent. The unit detects and reports alarms and provides several
options for reporting them, one of which is SNMP traps. When an alarm occurs,
the unit sends a trap message to up to six destinations on the user’s network. The
trap message is formatted per RFC 1157. The generic trap type is enterprise
specific (generic-trap = 6).
Up to six trap IP addresses can be assigned to report via SNMP. The unit reports
each alarm by transmitting an SNMP trap to each trap IP address. DDS network
problems often cause more than one alarm type. In these cases, multiple trap
messages are generated, each with a different specific trap type.
The following five menu items allow the entry of up to 58 characters identifying
the appropriate group, person, device function, or unit location.
