5.Managing the Black Box® LB1351A
You can monitor and control the Black Box® LB1351A Traffic Aggregator using SNMP
with a management station. This station must have a management application and it
should be connected to the device (via the network).
After the device and management station are connected and running you will be able
to manage your device through the SNMP management application.
Use the management application to view the device’s general information (figure 5-1)
or the MIB tree for detailed status (figure 5-2). In order to monitor the device’s status
you should open the following branch of the tree:
enterprises/fibrolan/fibrolanSNMP/fibrolanAggregator/flAggrLta31m
Through the various parameters given within the Black Box® LB1351A’s MIB, you can
view the complete device status and the ports’ status and you can configure most of
these parameters.
The Black Box® LB1351A is a fully featured traffic aggregator that provides advanced
capabilities such as VLAN tag insertion and stripping and an advanced set of priority
schemes. These features are explained in details later on in the ‘Managing with a
terminal’ section. All settings are also accessible through SNMP and their meaning is
the same (so the complete detailed explanation about each parameter is found only in
the terminal section).
Note: some configuration changes (mainly port connection and disconnection)
require a few seconds to take effect.
