Configuration
Connections
SNMP Main Connection
This is an SNMP connector. The IP needs to be configured during creation of the element.
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string in order to read from the device. The default value is public.
- Set community string: The community string in order to set to the device. The default value is private.
How to Use
General Page
This page displays information about the switch:
- Network Information
- Active Interfaces
There are also page buttons that lead to the following pages:
- Trap Parameters
- Screen Saver Parameters
Switch Control Page
This page shows the current protection group state and links to subpages with protection group data:
- Setup Parameters
- Operation Parameters
- Setup Tables
- Operation Parameters
- Group Setup Tables
- Group Operation Parameters
The availability of some of these parameters, including the tables, depends on the protection group configuration. In case there are multiple protection groups, you can access the values via the page buttons Group Operation Parameters and Group Setup Parameter.
The protocol will attempt to determine which protection group state the device is in based on the responses returned. However, as this methodology cannot be absolutely trusted, we advise to instead manually set the Protection Group Behavior parameter. This parameter is set to Automatic by default, but you can set it to a fixed state by selecting Single or Multiple. Whether a device is in single or multiple protection group state depends on the configuration uploaded through the web interface. For more information, refer to the chapters "Working with Protection Groups" and "Configuration Files" in the USS0202 User Manual.
Alarms Page
This page displays a table with Alarms information.
If more than one protection group is defined, the Alarms Table is empty, and the information is displayed in the Group Alarms Table instead.
Traps
When traps are received from the device, the alarm tables are polled.
