Snmp Configuration Capability - Cisco Prisma II Installation And Operation Manual

SNMP Configuration Capability

Introduction
The IP Setup menu item in the ICIM menu allows you to enter an IP address, IP
subnet, and gateway IP in order to configure the ICIM for remote status monitoring
and control by an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network
management system.
Note: Contact Cisco Services for MIB files.
SNMP Considerations
The following items should be considered when implementing SNMP:
• The SNMP connection is made through the Ethernet port on the front of the ICIM.
(Use 10baseT cable with an RJ-45 connector.) In order to meet the requirements of
GR-1089-CORE, a shielded cable must be used and both ends must be grounded.
• The Network Management System (NMS) must be installed behind a firewall to
prevent any ill-intentioned persons with an SNMP manager from accessing, and
tampering with, the ICIM.
• When the ICIM has to handle excessive SNMP traffic, it will respond slowly to
both SNMP control and front panel input. If this occurs, reduce the update rate of
the SNMP manager.
Important: If an HDRX chassis is set to chassis ID 41, the ICIM will not detect
receiver 9 in that chassis.
Basic SNMP Setup
Refer to your SNMP manager documentation and/or Management Information Base
(MIB) information for instructions on implementing SNMP. Before you can use and
reconfigure SNMP services, you need to know the community names in your
network and the IP addresses or computer names for SNMP management hosts that
traps are sent to.
