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

How to use

Range 1.0.0.x

The element created with this connector has the following data pages:

  • General: This page contains general information, such as the System Description, System Up Time, System Contact, Name, and Location. It also displays an overview of the OSI Model of the availability of each layer and the Electricity Consumption, PSU Fan A Total Up Time, PSU Fan B Total Up Time, Chassis Fan A Total Up Time, and Chassis Fan B Total Up Time.
  • Network: This page displays the Interfaces and Address Translation tables. The operational status of the interfaces can also be updated based on incoming traps.
  • Product Information: This page displays the Product Information, Modules, and Remote Maintenance tables. The Product Information Table is used to extrapolate data to create the DVEs.
  • Traps: This page displays the Traps Destination table.
  • Alarms: This page displays the Error Status table. This table is both polled and updated based on traps. The table is cleared when a "Coldstart" trap is received.
  • DVE: This page displays the DVE tables and the setting to automatically delete DVEs.
  • NMI: On this page, the NMI table allows you to check which interface element is connected to which card. The Resubscribe button can be used to reset all the created subscriptions. In this range, the only supported IP IV interface is the Sony NMI device.

  • IP IV Interface: On this page, the IP IV Interfaces table allows you to check which interface element is connected to which card. The Resubscribe button can be used to reset all the created subscriptions. In this range, the supported IP IV interfaces are the Sony NMI device and Sony 2110 device.

Notes

**IMPORTANT NOTE: **The index of the Product Information Table and the Device table has a difference of -1 with the DVE element names. DVEs have an element name of the format MainElementName-Module_Slot No, with "Slot No" being PK Product Information Table - 1.
