Introduction
This chapter provides specific information for configuring and using the
SNMP agent within the WANsuite 6x30.
The WANsuite 6x30 incorporates an Ethernet card that provides connectivity
for LAN-based management stations. The embedded TCP/IP Protocol Stack
allows remote access from both private networks and the Internet.
SNMP Configuration Parameters
To access the SNMP agent, you must have an SNMP management
application, such as HP’s OpenView

or Sun’s NetManager

. Access to the
agent is controlled by three community strings, read-access, write-access, and
trap-access (the community string sent with an SNMP trap). Configuration of
these community strings within the WANsuite 6x30 is accomplished via the
HTTP (web browser) interface (Chapter 3, Web Server Interface).
The defaults for these strings are “public” for read-access, “private” for write-
access, and “public” for trap-access. Ensure that your SNMP management
application is configured for whatever access strings you use.
SNMP MIBs
The WANsuite 6x30 supports the following industry-standard MIB
(management information base) files:
•
rfc1573.mib
−
defines the IANAifType textual convention, and thus the
enumerated values of the ifType object defined in MIB-II’s
ifTable
• rfc1907.mib
−
SNMPv2 entities (initial revision published as RFC 1450)
• rfc2011.mib
−
for managing IP and ICMP implementations, but excluding
their management of IP routes
• rfc2012.mib
−
for managing TCP implementations
