Configuring SNMP

You can use the Console Automation Server to configure your Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connections. The SNMP Connections page displays the currently defined SNMP configurations and trap ports. You can create new queries, upload MIB files, and configure Trap Formatters by filling out the respective wizards.

  • SNMP-queries You can invoke a new query by using the SNMP query wizard. After adding the device address into the wizard, you can use the query template to specify the query manually. You can also select the IODs for the query. The device will then receive an SNMP GET request to provide the list of supported OIDs.
  • Copy-SNMP-queries You can create a new SNMP query from an existing one by selecting the existing query and clicking the Copy icon. The resulting dialog box requests a name for the new query. After you provide the name, the Console Automation Server inserts the new query into the database and links the new OIDs to the query.
  • Delete-SNMP-queries You can delete a query by clicking the Delete icon next to the SNMP query. A dialog box requesting confirmation requests confirmation. When prompted, confirm that you want to complete the deletion. The Console Automation Server deletes the SNMP query record and its associated OIDs.
  • Edit-SNMP-queries You can edit existing queries by clicking on the Edit icon. The Create New SNMP query page lets you change the parameters of the query. Click Save to update the existing query.
  • Upload-MIB-Files You can upload and delete MIB files by clicking the MIB Files button. The initial dialog box lists MIB files that are already in the system. Click the Upload MIB Files icon to access the dialog box that requests the location of the MIB file. Clicking Upload completes the upload.
  • SNMP-Trap-Formatters You can define, edit, and delete Trap Formatters by clicking the Trap Formatters button. Click the New Format icon to add a new Trap Formatter to your Console Automation Server. Click Edit to edit existing formatters.
