APPENDIX A: SNMP AGENT S UPPORTThis appendix describes the configuration necessary for SNMP agent support on the EMS. Theconfiguration consists of three parts:1. Configuring IP routing for the EMS module (BC Supervisor)2. Customizing SNMP agent parameters for EMS, and3. Compiling the Enterprise MIBs on your SNMP ManagerThe first two steps are intended to be run from DOS on the EMS module (BC Supervisor Processor).To prepare for this, you must guarantee that the CSX7000 containing the EMS module is selectedfor video, and the EMS module (BC Supervisor group) is the selected group within the platform. Ifyou need to set this up, perform the following:• Press VIDEO SELECT on the platform containing the EMS module. The ENABLED LEDshould light.• Use the BC GROUP push buttons to select the BC Supervisor group (i.e., the EMS module)within the platform.• If BCVision is running, press to exit to DOS.C ONFIGURE IP R OUTING FOR THE EMS M ODULEThe EMS module (BC Supervisor) must be connected to an Ethernet LAN and configured for IP toallow the SNMP agent to communicate with an SNMP manager.Note: The following procedure assumes you know how to use the DOS editor and the setuputility.1. If the BC Supervisor’s default frame type (ETHERNET _802.3) does not match the frame typeof your LAN, run the setup utility for the BC Supervisor’s on-board Ethernet controller to setthe desired frame type. Also edit the file \NWCLIENT\NET.CFG, specifying the desired frametype in the Link Driver section.2. Once Ethernet support is configured, you can configure IP support. To do this, make thefollowing changes to the file\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG:a. Change the trap target parameter of the Transport Provider UDP section to reflect the IPaddress of the SNMP trap target (i.e., the SNMP Management station).b. In the Protocol TCPIP section:• Change ip_address to the IP address you wish to assign to the BC Supervisor.• Change ip_netmask to the default subnetwork mask.• Change ip_router parameter to the IP address of the default router for all packets beingsent to remote networks.
