Introduction
This chapter provides specific information for configuring and using the
SNMP agent within the WANsuite 7205.
The WANsuite 7205 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 Verilink’s NetVoyant or HP’s OpenView
â
or Sun’s
NetManager
ä
. 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
7205 is accomplished via the HTTP (web browser) interface (refer to Chapter
3, Web Server Interface) or the VT100 interface (refer to Chapter 4, VT100
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 7205 supports the following industry-standard MIB
(management information base) files:
• rfc1907.mib
−
SNMPv2 entities (initial revision published as RFC 1450)
• rfc1573.mib
−
defines the IANAifType textual convention, and thus the
enumerated values of the ifType object defined in MIB-II’s
