8 Using SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a communication protocol designed
specifically for managing devices or other elements on a network. Equipment commonly
managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and host computers. SNMP is typically used to
configure these devices for proper operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor
them to evaluate performance or detect potential problems.
To access this IBP from a network management station using SNMP, follow these steps:
1. Install an SNMP management application on your host computer.
2. Verify that the management station and IBP are configured to the same IP domain.
3. Configure the community name and access rights for network management access via
SNMP.
4. To receive trap messages from the IBP, you must specify the IP address of the trap
managers, associated community names, and trap types that the IBP will generate.
5. An SNMP management station can configure and monitor network devices by setting or
reading device variables specified in the Management Infor- mation Base (MIB). The key
MIB groups supported by this IBP are listed in this appendix.
To monitor device status or modify system parameters on the IBP from a network
management system, you must access the appropriate MIB variables via your SNMP
management application.
