Procedure 7-12 (continued)
Testing Ethernet parameter retrieval using SNMP
Action
Step Action
1 Install the MIB browser in the system.
2 Run the MIB browser client and this should show a window as shown in
Figure 7-12 on page 7-60.
3 Load the MIB file to the MIB browser. The file which needs to be loaded is the
omeTraps.mib file which would be available with the software CD. The file
can be loaded by using the option File Load MIB.
4 Expand the MIB tree to get the different parameters which are present in the
MIB. In the tree select the stc option of the MIB.
5 Enter the IP address of the network element which needs to be tested in the
Address box. Click Advanced option present in the MIB browser. Input the
following properties of the SNMP agent:
• Port - Set the SNMP agent port to 161, since the network element would
be listening to SNMP requests on this TCP port.
• Read Community - Set this to the value which is set for the SNMP
community in the network element.
• SNMP version - Select the SNMP version which is required. The network
element supports both SNMP v1 and SNMP v2, but not SNMP v3.
6 Login to the network element WUI, and click Security in the Navigation
menu. Select the Settings option in this menu. Set the SNMP agent to enable
(the default will be disable) and set the community string to a value which is
needed. Ensure that the community string is the same in both the MIB
browser and the network element.
7 Select the stc option in the MIB browser and click Get Subtree in the
operations menu. This will list all the parameters which is exposed on the
network element for an SNMP browser to browse. If any error is thrown,
contact your next level of support.
8 Ethernet PM parameters for which SNMP Get support is available is shown
in Table 7-14 on page 7-57. These counters are available under the object
OID 37, which corresponds to the Ethernet port.
9 The following commands given in step 10 on page 7-56, step 11 on page
7-56, and step 12 on page 7-56 can be tested using the iReasoning MIB
browser.
