Configuring SNMP
Introduction
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent allows a network man-
agement station using internet protocol to obtain information from Cabletron frame
relay access products. Access to the agent is through any IP interface, including frame
relay or X.25 ports configured for IP, and LAN interfaces.
The agent handles
get
and (for some fields)
set
commands from the SNMP manager
to provide topology information and node status. This information is retrieved by
calling it from the Management Information Base (MIB).
FRX and FRM support parts of the Internet-standard MIB II (RFC 1213), as well as
the frame relay MIB (RFC 1315), the SDLC MIB (RFC 1747), the X.25 MIBs (RFC
1381 and 1382), and a Cabletron-proprietary Netlink MIB. The tree structures are
shown in the MIB Reference Guide (part number 09-41-06-149), which is available
from Cabletron Systems, Inc.
