SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol
Back / Forward | Help / SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol
The following is a list of the English terms currently used within the SNMP definition (italics).


The HomeServer is a network element (agent device) within an SNMP community.
Values of communication objects can be set (SNMP SET) and requested (SNMP GET)
via a Network Management Station (SNMP applications /SNMP managers).
The HomeServer can send messages on its own (SNMP TRAP).
Managed objects are defined in the HomeServer.
These are created/stored in a data base in the HomeServer Expert (Management Information Base = MIB).
These data are then transmitted to the HomeServer.
Rights can also be transmitted within the data base (e.g. member of the SNMP community).

SNMP within HS is activated in the program item "Master data/Project/SNMP" and "Master data/Project/SNMP TRAP".

The variables that are requested or changed externally are created in this menu item.
Designation
Designation of the SNMP variable. This designation is only used in the Expert for exact identification.
MIB variable/OID
Unique key for access to the variable in the HS (e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.1)
Communication object
The communication object assigned here represents the value of the MIB variable.
The value of the variable can be changed by the following factor.
If the variable is requested by the SNMP Management Station then the value of the communication object is multiplied by the factor.
If the variable is changed/set by the SNMP Management Station then the value of the variable is divided by the factor.
Factor
The value of the communication object is changed by this factor (refer also to communication object, above).
Community (read)
Systems making requests must belong to the community entered here.
If no entry is made here then the system making the request can belong to all communities.
Write authorization
Yes: The variables can be changed/written externally.
Community (write)
Systems making write operations must belong to the community entered here.
If no entry is made here then the system making the write operation can belong to all communities.
