The aim of this connector is the control of a management system.

About

This is an SNMP connector that retrieves simple SNMP parameters and SNMP tables, for which alarms can be generated. It also allows you to set new values for certain parameters.

Installation and configuration

Creation

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 of the device, e.g., 127.0.0.1.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, e.g., 161.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, e.g., public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, e.g., private.

Usage

System Management

This page displays general information about the system, such as the System Description, System Name, System Location, etc.

The SNMP Info page button displays several counters: SNMP Incoming Packets, SNMP Incoming Bad Values, SNMP Outgoing Set Requests, SNMP Outgoing Traps, etc.

IP Management

This page displays counters related to IP management: IP Incoming Receives, IP Frag OKs, IP Frag Creates, etc.

ICMP Management

This page contains data related to ICMP messages: ICMP Incoming Errors, ICMP Incoming Redirects, ICMP Incoming Addr Masks, ICMP Outgoing Redirects, etc.

TCP Management

This page contains parameters related to the TCP layer: TCP Retrans Timeout Algorithm, TCP Max Conn, TCP Established Resets, TCP Incoming Segs, etc.

UDP Management

This page displays parameters such as UDP Incoming Datagrams and UDP Incoming Errors.

It also contains the UDP Table, which indicates the UDP Local Address and the UDP Local Port for each UDP listener.

Phase

This page contains general parameters about the phase: Phase History Input Location, Phase History Time Average, Phase History Clock, and Phase History Count.

Two page buttons show the Phase Table and the Phase History Table. The Phase Table shows the Ph A/B (100/1000/10000) Timestamp/Value. The Phase History Table shows the Ph Hist Timestamp and the Ph Hist Value for each port, at each slot and for each chassis.

Frequency

This page displays the Frequency Table, which contains the Frequency A Timestamp, Frequency A Value, Frequency B Timestamp, and Frequency B Value.

NTP

On this page, you can edit NTP configuration settings: NTP Add Client, NTP Add Broadcast, NTP Add Broadcast Client, NTP Delete Peer, etc.

Two page buttons display more details concerning Peer Statistics and NTP Peer.

Time

This page shows the Current Time and the Local Offset, which are both editable.

PQL

This page contains the PQL DS1 Table and the PQL E1 Table, which allow you to edit the SSM and the Description.

IO Name

This page contains a table where you can edit the IO Name for each input/output in the system.

Communication

This page contains the following tables:

  • RS232 Table: Allows you to edit the COM Mode, the COM Echo, the COM EOL (CR, LF, CRLF), and the COM Baud.
  • COM Parameter Table: Allows you to define a COM Timeout in seconds for each COM Type.

SNMP Manager

This page contains the parameters SNMP Manager Initialize (Init v2, Init v3), SNMP Manager Trap (Alarm, All), SNMP Notification (V2, V3, All) and SNMP Enable (V2 Enable, V2 Disable).

The page buttons SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 display the following information: the SNMPv2 Manager Table, SNMPv2 User Table, SNMPv3 User Table, and SNMPv3 Manager Table.
