3.1.3 SNMP Overview

The SNMP agent interface provides a means of configuring the terminal using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) commands.

3.1.3.1 MIBs

A Managed Information Base (MIB) file describes a type of device in a network as a data structure. The SDIDU™ SNMP agent supports the following MIBs.

 ccm_reg.mib: This MIB file contains the registration for Microwave Data

Systems enterprise OID and sub trees for Microwave Data Systems products.

 ccm_SDIDU.mib: This is the main MIB file for the SDIDU™ product.

 ccm_SDIDU_v1Traps.mib: SDIDU™ product version 1 trap MIB file

content.

MDS FIVE Series

05-4574A01, Rev. C

3-6

 ccm_SDIDU_v2Traps.mib: SDIDU™ product version 2 trap MIB file

The SNMP agent interface uses these MIB files to configure the system.

3.1.3.2 SNMP Agent Parameters

The SNMP agent interface configurable parameters are described in the following sections..

WEB and CLI interfaces can be used to configure the SNMP parameters below. Change in any of the parameters below

Note

If the agent is configured in “v3 only” or “v1-v2-v3” mode, SNMPv3 “admin” user can configure the SNMP users. There are 4 possible levels of users. User levels are same as described in Section 2.2.

The SNMP agent does not support level based access if the agent is configured as “v1 only” or “v2 only” mode. In the case of v1 and v2 modes of operation, Level1 access is given to the read operation and Level4 access is given for the write operation. Thus, in v1 and v2 modes of operation, the user has full access to system configurations if a valid write community string is used.

reconfigures the agent

User Interface Manual

.

3.1.3.2.1 SNMP Mode

The SNMP agent can be configured to operate in any of the following modes:

 disable

 v1 only

 v2 only

 v3 only

 v1-v2-v3

If the agent is configured to run as v1 only, v2 only or v3 only, then the user can access the agent only using SNMP v1, v2 or v3 respectively.

If the agent is configured to operate in the v1-v2-v3 mode, then the user can access the agent using SNMP v1, v2 or v3.

The SNMP agent is disabled by selecting the disable mode.

Note

SNMP v1 and v2 provides a weak security by using the community strings. The user can always configure the SNMP agent to operate in “v3 only” mode, which uses authentication as well as encryption for secure transaction.

MDS FIVE Series 05-4574A01, Rev. C

User Interface Manual

3.1.3.2.2 Trap Version

A trap is an SNMP message issued by an SNMP agent that reports an event.

The Trap Version parameter configures the SNMP trap version. The SNMP agent uses the specified version to send the traps to configured trap managers.

3.1.3.2.3 Auth Trap Enable

If enabled, SNMP agent generates Authentication failure trap on authentication failure in any request.

3.1.3.2.4 Read Community

A community string is an SNMP security password. The Read Community string is used in read operation of SNMP v1 or v2, and allows the SNMP manager to issue Get and GetNext messages.

3.1.3.2.5 Write Community

3-7

The Write Community string is used in write operation of SNMP v1 or v2, and allows the SNMP Manager to issue Set messages.

3.1.3.2.6 Trap community

The Trap Community string allows the SNMP agent to issue Trap messages.

3.1.3.2.7 SNMP Auth Password

The SNMP Auth Password is used in only SNMP v3 mode of operation and is the authorization password for the “admin” user.

3.1.3.2.8 SNMP Priv Password

The SNMP Priv Password is used in only SNMP v3 mode of operation and is the privacy password for the “admin” user.

3.1.3.2.9 Trap Manager

Trap Manager configures the trap manager’s IP addresses. A maximum of four Trap managers can be configured. The SNMP agent sends the traps to all the configured trap managers.

3.2 Navigation Tree

The Navigation tree shown describes the location of each user interface screen. Nested screens are indented under the screen from which they can be accessed.

5. Cumulative Bits - Total number of bits

6. Cumulative Bit Error - Total number of error bits

7. Bit Error Rate - Percentage of error bits

To use the SDIDU™’s BERT capabilities, the BERT mode has to be enabled independently at both ends of the link because there is no separate NMS stream when operating in BERT mode. This will require the use of two PCs, one connected directly to the NMS port of each SDIDU™.

c. Enabling this mode will generate random data over the link causing the

other SDIDU to trigger the buzzer, generating noise.

3. Enable the other SDIDU™'s BERT mode. This should silence the buzzer noise.

4. Send the “Clear” command to both SDIDUs™ to reset the cumulative bits, cumulative bit errors, and bit error rate counters.

a. Click on the “Clear” button.

b. After few seconds (depending on your network speed) the response

from MODEM for the given command will be displayed in the text area.
