Management Functions 3 - 17
Setting SNMP Values
If you plan to manage the Bridge Module through an SNMP workstation
you must set the following attributes:
❑ IP Address
❑ Community Table
❑ Default Gateway
❑ Subnetwork Mask
❑ Alerts
IP Address
To manage via SNMP, every device on your network must have a unique IP
address. Use the SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS command to assign unique IP
addresses to your Bridge Module ports. The following example shows the
command to assign an IP address to port 1 of the Bridge Module.
OEBM> set device ip_address_port1 195.24.25.36 [ENTER]
Community Table
The community table defines which SNMP stations on the network can
access and/or modify information from the Bridge Module, and which
station(s) will receive traps generated from the Bridge Module. Use the SET
COMMUNITY command to create a community table entry. For example,
the following command adds a community name of NCS with IP address
195.337.36.58 to have read_write access:
OEBM> set community NCS 195.337.36.58 read_write [ENTER]
You can use the SHOW COMMUNITY command to view the existing
community entries.
