SNMP protocol
Remote system monitoring is available using
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
An agent resides in the iPBridge which takes
information from the iPBridge and translates it
into a form compatible with SNMP. If certain
conditions arise, the agent sends asynchronous
notifications (traps) to a client.
Refer to
Diagnostic commands
on page 43 for
detailed information on the commands which
regulate SNMP on the iPBridge.
Contact your network administrator for the MIB
software and appropriate MIB file for your
iPBridge. Use the
SNMP
page of the
ExpressNAV interface to enable traps or extended
traps.
Set up a VLAN: Virtual Local Area Network
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of devices
on different physical LANs which can commu-
nicate with each other as if they were all in the
same physical LAN. This creates a network
that is independent of physical location, allows
grouping of users into logical workgroups,
increases efficient use of resources, and adds
security options by allowing some users into
the LAN and keeping other users out.
Use the VLAN command to create up to eight
Virtual LAN IDs for each Ethernet data port. Each
VLAN ID is assigned a VLAN name of up to 64
characters. If no VLAN Id exists for a data port,
VLAN is disabled for that port. For details on the
command, refer to
Ethernet commands
on page
49.
