Configuring the NMS
16-10 Configuring for SNMP Access
Configuring the NMS
Procedure
To configure an NMS to manage an access server using SNMP, do the following:
Step Action
1
Enter the access server management information bases (MIBs) in the
NMS database (see Supported MIB Variables in this chapter). The
software installation kit includes ASCII text files of these MIBs.
2
Enter the access server IP address, each appropriate community name,
and desired access rights in the NMS database.
If the community name is associated with an IP address, the address
must be the Internet address of this NMS. The network manager must
also associate the IP address of the access server with each such name.
The exact procedure depends on the host-type of the NMS.
3
Configure the gateways to restrict unauthorized SNMP access by users
from outside your network.
