Configuring SNMP
SNMP v1/v2 protocol is used to communicate management information between the DSView 3 server and the console server. The following limitations apply when using the DSView 3 software to configure SNMP:
|
•
|
The DSView 3 software may configure only one SNMP read and write community. |
|
•
|
SNMPv3 cannot be configured through the DSView 3 software. |
To configure more than one SNMP community or to configure SNMPv3, enable and use the console server's web manager. See the Console server web manager and the Cyclades ACS 5000 Installation/Administration/User Guide
The following settings appear under SNMP in the side navigation bar:
|
•
|
System - Assign, enable or disable an SNMP server. When you enable SNMP, the managed appliance listens for incoming traps to log SNMP messages. |
|
•
|
Managers - Assign SNMP management stations. Up to four management station are allowed. |
|
•
|
Community - Define access environment to which the devices and management stations running SNMP belong. |
|
•
|
Destinations - Enter the IP addresses of hosts where SNMP traps are sent. Destination SNMP traps are enabled through the Events menu. |
NOTE: To configure IPv6 addresses, the console server must have firmware version 3.3 or later.
