CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Monitoring the Network with SNMP
8. Monitoring the Network with SNMP
This chapter explains how to monitor the CrossFire 8600 Token-Ring Switch and/
or the CrossFire 8605 Token-Ring Fiber Switch from a network management
system using an application that supports Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP).
The following topics are described in this chapter:
•
SNMP setup
•
IP configuration
•
SNMP configuration
SNMP Setup
Follow these steps to use in-band management:
1. Attach the switch to the console and start a console session as described in
Chapter 5, “Connecting a Network Management Console”.
2. Make the necessary configurations in the
IP Configuration
screen.
3. Make the necessary configurations in the
SNMP Configuration
menu and the
following subscreens:
•
Community String
screen
•
Trap Receiver
screen
The following sections describe the SNMP setup screens.
IP Configuration Screen
The
IP Configuration
screen sets the IP address, gateway address, subnet mask,
and IP state.
The
IP Address
and
Default Gateway
must be in the same subnet address class—
that is, Class A, Class B, or Class C. The system prevents you from entering values
from different classes. If you do inadvertently enter an incorrect value, enter
0.0.0.0
in every field, then reenter the correct values.
Refer to Chapter 6, “Switch Configuration” for a complete description on how to
configure the
IP Configuration
menu.
