SNMP Configuration and Management
The SCE 1000 operating system includes a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent
that supports the RFC 1213 standard (MIB-II) and Cisco’s enterprise MIBs. This section explains
how to configure the SNMP agent parameters. It also describes the SNMP traps and the Cisco
proprietary MIB, and explains the order in which the MIB must be loaded.
Note
Throughout this manual, the terms SNMP server and SNMP agent are used interchangeably, as
equivalents.
SNMP Protocol
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a set of protocols for managing complex
networks. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts
of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in
Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
SCE 1000 supports the original SNMP protocol (also known as SNMPv1), and a newer version
called Community-based SNMPv2 (also known as SNMPv2C).
• SNMPv1: is the first version of the Simple Network Management Protocol, as defined in
RFCs 1155 and 1157, and is a full Internet standard. SNMPv1 uses a community-based form
of security.
• SNMPv2c: is the revised protocol, which includes improvements to SNMPv1 in the areas of
protocol packet types, transport mappings, and MIB structure elements but using the existing
SNMPv1 administration structure. It is defined in RFC 1901, RFC 1905, and RFC 1906.
SCE 1000 implementation of SNMP supports all MIB II variables, as described in RFC 1213, and
defines the SNMP traps using the guidelines described in RFC 1215.
The SNMPv1 and SNMPv2C specifications define the following basic operations that are
supported by SCE 1000:
