DT Etherlink IV User Manual- 42 -3.4.2.3 SNMPThe management with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to monitor the status,to configure and to manage any network equipment. The big advantage of SNMP is usually theimmediate unasked information (TRAP) if something is not running correct. Etherlink_IV DSLmodems support SNMP v1. The management control computer should have a special SNMPprogram installed.The following management information bases (MIBs) are supported: RFC1213-MIB, a standard MIB for all devices, supporting MIB II and described in RFC-1213, is fully supported IF-MIB, MIB descriptions of interfaces, described in RFC-2863, is fully supported DS1-MIB, MIB describing E1 streams, RFC-2495, is partially supportedTraps are sent by the device into two addresses. The following traps are supported: cold Start (RFC1215) authentication Failure (RFC1215) linkUp (RFC1213-MIB, IF-MIB) linkDown (RFC1213-MIB, IF-MIB) dsx1LineStatusChange (DS1-MIB)An SNMP agent should be installed to work with SNMP. The COMMUNITY command (configurationof the community parameter of SNMP messages) and the TRAPIP command (configuration of IP-addresses for traps) are used to configure the SNMP agent. The IP-address and the other networkconfigurations of the SNMP agent coincide with network configurations of the device (see SETIP,NETMASK, GATEWAY commands and the NET sub-menu).Using the variables described in the MIB the following actions can be performed: view general information about the device monitor the general status of the device (presence of alarms) reboot the device configure the device, control configurations (use, acknowledge), backup and restoreconfigurations view and clear G.826 statistics for E1 and DSL view alarm statusEvery variable of the S-Access-MIB, as well as of all other MIB files have a detailed description inthe MIB file itself.The MIB can be received from S-Access GMBH – support@s-access.ch:
