56 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
SNMP Configuration
An administrator can configure SNMP, which is needed if notifications are to be sent to an SNMP
management application.
NOTE: The Avocent ACS 6000 Enterprise MIB text file is available in the appliance. Follow the filename: /usr/
local/mibs/ACS6000-MIB.asn. The Avocent ACS 6000 Enterprise TRAP MIB text file is available in the
appliance. Follow the filename: /usr/local/mibs/ACS6000-TRAP-MIB.asn. Also visit www.avocent.com to find
both files.
To configure SNMP:
1. Click Application Settings - SNMP - System. The System screen is displayed.
2. Enter the SysContact information (email address of the console server’s administrator, for
example,
acs6000_admin@avocent.com).
3. Enter the SysLocation information (physical location of the console server, for example,
Cyclades_ACS6000).
4. Click Save.
5. Click Application Settings - SNMP - SNMP v1,v2,v3. The SNMP v1,v2,v3 screen is displayed.
Boot Action The boot action configured for the host, either Ignore, Add or Start.
Authentication Method Authentication method used, either RSA Public Keys or Shared Secret.
Remote (Right) Side
- and -
Local (Left) Side
Enter the required address or text for each of the four fields for both
Remote Side and Local Side:
ID: This is the hostname that a local system and a remote system use for
IPSec negotiation and authentication. It can be a fully qualified domain
name preceded by @. For example, hostname@xyz.com
IP Address: The IP address of the host.
NextHop: The router through which the console server (on the left side) or
the remote host (on the right side) sends packets to the host on the other
side.
SubNet: The netmask of the subnetwork where the host resides.
Use CIDR notation. The IP number followed by a slash and the number of
‘one’ bits in the binary notation of the netmask. For example, 192.168.0.0/
24 indicates an IP address where the first 24 bits are used as the network
address. This is the same as 255.255.255.0.
RSA Key (If RSA Key is selected) For IPSec(VPN) authentication, you need to generate a public key for the
console server and find out the key used on the remote gateway. Copy and
paste for copying the RSA key from another source is supported.
Pre-Shared Secret (If Secret is
selected)
Pre-shared password between left and right users.
