Configuration

Connections

SNMP Main Connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP port: The IP port of the destination.

SNMP Settings:

  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device (default: public).
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device (default: private).

Initialization

No extra configuration is needed.

Redundancy

There is no redundancy defined.

Web Interface

The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.

How to use

The element created with this connector consists of the data pages detailed below.

General

This page contains general information about the device, such as the System Uptime. On the System and Physical Entities subpages, you can find further information about system parameters and software versions.

Interfaces

This page contains a list of all the device interfaces. When a lot of interfaces are available, you can filter the list to reduce SNMP load via the subpage Interface Filtering.

By default, the filter is empty, which means that the whole table will be polled. If you manually add entries to the filter, the table will only poll those specific entries.

Services

This page shows a list of services on the device, with information about bit rates and discard rates for each service.

Flow

This page contains a table that lists the flows in the device. By default, this table will poll nothing. You can set up polling by adding regex filters on the Flow Table Filter subpage. The table will only poll entries for which the flow name matches one of the regex filters. Multiple regex filters can be imported at the same time in a .txt file, containing one regex filter per line.

Traps

This page lists Trap Destinations with the corresponding settings.

Connectivity Fault Management

This page contains multiple tables regarding CFM on the device.

You can enable or disable CFM polling by toggling the Connectivity Fault Management Polling option. Polling is enabled by default.

Alarms

This page shows a list of the current alarms on the device. On the Alarm Generation subpage, you can find customization options for alarm generation.

You can enable or disable alarm polling by toggling the System Buffer Alarm Polling option. Polling is enabled by default.

Web Interface

This page displays the web interface of the device. However, note that you can only access this if the client machine has network access to the device.

DCF

This page contains a list of DCF physical interfaces based on the list of device interfaces on the Interfaces page. These are the interfaces of type Ethernet CSMACD and SHDSL.

By default, the DCF Table keeps all the interfaces it received even after they have been removed; however, if the filter from the Interface Filtering subpage is used, it will also affect the interfaces available to DCF.

Activating or deactivating filter mode will disconnect all DCF connections.
