Snmp Agent Configuration - GE MDS iNET Series Reference Manual

2.4.5 SNMP Agent Configuration

The transceiver contains over 100 custom SNMP-manageable objects as well as the IETF standard
RFC1213 for protocol statistics, also known as MIB II. Off-the-shelf SNMP managers such as Castle Rock
Computing SNMPc™ and Hewlett Packard HP OpenView™ may also be used to access the transceiver's
SNMP Agent's MIB. The transceiver's SNMP agent supports SNMPv3.
The objects are broken up into several MIB files. There are textual conventions, common files and specific
files. This allows the flexibility to change areas of the MIB and not affect other existing installations or cus-
tomers.
• —GE MDS sub-tree registrations
msdreg.mib
• —GE MDS Common MIB definitions for objects and events common to the entire
mds_comm.mib
product family
• —GE MDS sub-tree registrations
inet_reg.mib
• —SNMPv1 enterprise-specific traps
inettrv1.mib
• —SNMPv2 enterprise-specific traps
inettrv2.mib
• — MIB definitions for objects and events which are common to the entire iNET Series
inet_com.mib
• —MIB definitions for objects and events for an Access Point transceiver
inet_ap.mib
• —Definitions for objects and events for a Remote radio
inet_sta.mib
• —For security management of the radio system. SNMPv3 allows read/write operation.
inet_sec.mib
SNMPv1/2 allows only for read-only access.
• —Additional objects specific to iNET-II.
inet2.mib
NOTE:
SNMP management requires that the proper IP address, network and gateway addresses are
configured in each transceiver of the associated network.
In addition, some management systems may require the MIB files to be compiled in the order
shown above.
This menu provides configuration and control of vital SNMP functions.
