Preface

This guide describes how to install and use the COMSPHEREr 6700 Series Network Management System (NMS) SNMP Proxy Agent feature.

This manual assumes you have a basic understanding of COMSPHERE modems and data service units (DSUs) and their operation, are knowledgeable about data communications, and are familiar with Windowst terminology and conventions.

Overview

What is SNMP?

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet standard protocol for managing TCP/IP devices.

Using SNMP, a network administrator can address queries and commands to network nodes and devices. You can use SNMP to monitor network performance and status; control operational parameters; and report, analyze, and isolate faults.

Agents, managers, and Management Information Bases (MIBs) combine to control network devices.

Agents collect management information and store it in a database called the MIB. The agent provides management information to an SNMP manager upon request.

Non-TCP/IP devices can be managed with SNMP proxy agents.

What is the SNMP Proxy Agent Feature?

The COMSPHEREr 6700 Series Network Management System SNMP Proxy Agent feature provides the capability for any device managed by a COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network Management System (NMS) to also be monitored and controlled by an SNMP network management system, such as HP OpenViewt or SunNett Manager.

SNMP Traps Overview

COMSPHERE 6700 NMS alerts may be exported to authorized SNMP managers as SNMP traps. Traps are forwarded for any event that makes it through the COMSPHERE 6700 Series NMS’s alert filter.

All traps are enterprise specific, with an OBJECT IDENTIFIER specifying the COMSPHERE 6700 Enterprise Device product.

Trap forwarding can be turned on/off for each SNMP manager in the authorized manager list through the COMSPHERE 6700 Series NMS Network Configuration feature or via SNMP. To do so, refer to the

Management System Network Configuration Guide

Refer to Appendix C for a full description of the COMSPHERE 6700 Enterprise Traps.

COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network

Device Traps

Device traps are generated for device-related alert conditions detected by the COMSPHERE 6700 Series NMS.

The Enterprise OBJECT IDENTIFIER used in device traps is the following:

iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) private(4) enterprises(1) att-2(74) att-products(1) paradyneNMS-products(13) nms6700-products(2) devOid(2)

The community name used in device product traps is the Device Read Community. This is formed by concatenating base read community with the device name.

The following COMSPHERE 6700 Device MIB variable bindings are included in each trap message.

 Device Name (devAdminName)  Device Type (devAdminModelType)  System Time (nmsSystemTime)
