SNMP Interface
Overview
The 4900 Series DSLAM can be managed using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
This implementation uses a portion of SNMP v1.0: the MIB-II System Group and
Interfaces Group of OIDs. SNMP uses MIBs (Management Information Bases)
sanctioned by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). MIBs are composed of
OIDs (Object Identifiers), each of which represents a system configuration or
request for data.
You will not be able to manage your DSLAM via SNMP until you have set the unit
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. See Management Configuration in
Chapter 5, Configuration Using the NMS or Using the CLI to Establish Inband
Management in Chapter 6, Command Line Interface.
Downloading MIBs
You must have a MIB browser installed on your PC in order to utilize the
Management Information Base.
Procedure
3. Launch your MIB browser and perform any necessary program configurations.
Refer to your MIB browser user manual for further information.
4. Download the MIBs from the Paradyne website. (Browse to
www.paradyne.com and select Support -> Enterprise MIBs.) Refer to your MIB
browser user manual for instructions on how to compile the OIDs into your MIB
browser.
