FR6822+QXFE Configuration, Monitoring, and Control

Configuring SNMP Agent and System Settings

The SNMP Agent settings are the same whether you are configuring SNMP using the HTTP

control interface or CCS Navigator.

Below the SNMP Agent settings are System settings. The Description, Location,

Contact, and Name information in these fields is normally defined by an administrator, and

describes the 6800+ETH card that is currently selected. This information is available on the

6800+ETH card when it is retrieved by a MIB browser.

The Trap Destination IP Addresses field contains a list of IP addresses that will receive

SNMP traps. It is in the format IP Address:Port Address:SNMP version.

Configuring SNMP Settings in CCS Software

You can use CCS Navigator, in Build mode, to configure SNMP. Follow these steps:

1 If the FR6822+QXFE frame and its modules have not been discovered, perform the

Discovery operation, and then save the results of the discovery.

See Discovering Frames and Modules Using a CCS Application on page 32 for more

information.

Note: Information about discovering modules can also be found in your CCS software

application manual or online help. (If you cannot discover the device, see Manually

Adding a Device to the Discovery or Network Folder on page 41.)

2 Right click on your 6800+ETH module in the Navigation pane (normally on the left side of

the screen), and then choose Configuration from the drop-down menu.

The Configuration dialog box appears.

3 Choose the SNMP tab, and then click Read.

Navigator polls the 6800+ETH card and retrieves its current settings. It fills in all the fields on

the SNMP tab of the Configuration dialog box with the settings that are on the module.
