SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of protocols for managing complex
networks. SNMP works by sending messages called protocol data units (PDUs) to different
parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices (agents), store data about themselves in
Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
The console server’s SNMP agent supports SNMPv1/v2 and v3. To use SNMP v1 or v2, you
need to specify a community name, a source IP address or a range of IP addresses, an object ID
(OID) and permission (read-write or read-only). SNMP v3 requires: username, password, OID
andpermission.
You can enable notifications about significant events or traps from the console server to an
SNMP management application, such as HP Openview, Novell NMS, IBM NetView or Sun Net
Manager.
The following table explains the required parameters to complete the SNMP form and the
associated dialog boxes.
