Managing the DES-3216
42
SNMP Management Configuration
The SNMP Management Configuration panel is used to configure the DES-3216 for SNMP
management. Leave the default values in place if you are not managing your network
through SNMP.
The DES-3216 uses the standard MIB-II Management Information Base module. The MIB
values can be retrieved from any SNMP based network manager. The DES-3216 supports its
own proprietary enterprise as an extended MIB. The MIB can be retrieved by specifying their
Object-Identity (OID). MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.
Read-only MIB variables can be constants that are programmed into the DES-3216 or
variables that change while the DES-3216 is running. For example, the number and type of
ports on the DES-3216 is a read-only constant. The number and type of ports is fixed.
Statistics, such as the number of errors that have occurred, are read-only variables.
Read-write MIBs are usually related to user customized configurations. Examples of these
are the DES-3216’s IP address, STA parameters and port status.
If you use third party vendors’ SNMP software to manage the DES-3216, a diskette listing
the DES-3216’s proprietary enterprise MIB can be obtained by request. If your software
provided functions to browse or modify MIB, you can get the MIB values and change them
(if the MIB’s attributes permit the write option). This process can be difficult. You must
know the MIB OIDs and retrieve them one by one.
SNMP Management Configuration Menu
The SNMP Management Configuration menu, displayed in Figure 25, enables you to
configure the DES-3216 for SNMP management.
