GENT

This unit has an embedded SNMP agent which can be accessed either through the
built in SLIP interface or the optional Network Interface Card (NIC). The NIC can
either be an Ethernet or Token Ring interface. With these interfaces, access can be
gained to the PRISM 41TDM through Telnet or SNMP. The Telnet session is
simply a connection to the user interface of the unit.

SNMP access to the unit is limited to Management Information Bases (MIBs)
supported by the embedded SNMP agent. The SNMP agent supports MIB-II (RFC
1213). This appendix describes in detail how the embedded SNMP agent conforms
to the RFC.

RFC 1213

This RFC defines the MIB-II specification.

systemTable

sysDescr: (read-only)

This entry is a textual description of the entity. It should include the full name and
version identification of the system's hardware type, software operating-system,
and networking software. It is mandatory that this only contain printable ASCII
characters. For the PRISM 41TDM, this value returns the string TxPORT SNMP
Agent
.

sysObjectID: (read-only)

The vendor's authoritative identification of the network management subsystem
contained in the entity. This value is allocated within the enterprises subtree
(1.3.6.1.4.1) and provides an easy and unambiguous means for determining ‘what
kind of box' is being managed. For example, if vendor ‘Flintstones, Inc.' was
assigned the subtree 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier
1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1 to its ‘Fred Router'. For the PRISM 41TDM, this value returns
the Object Identifier of 1.3.6.1.4.1.254.1.1.

sysUpTime: (read-only)

The time (in hundredths of a second) since the network management portion of the
system was last re-initialized.

sysContact: (read-write)

The textual identification of the contact person for this managed node, together
with information on how to contact this person. The string defaults to ‘no system
contact.’
