Chapter 16: KCS Client Configuration
278 Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual
Note: Initially only advanced console server models were equipped with an SNMP Service. With V3.0 (and later)
firmware this support was extended to all console servers. Also the MIBS were extended (and renamed for
compliance) with this firmware release.
All console servers can also be configured to send SNMP traps/messages to multiple remote SNMP Network Managers
on defined trigger events. Refer Chapter 7 for configuration details
15.5.1 Retrieving status information using SNMP
Console servers can provide serial and device status information through SNMP. This includes
ï€ Serial port status
ï€ Active users
ï€ Remote Power Control (RPC) and Power Distribution Unit (PDU) status
ï€ Environmental Monitoring Device (EMD) status
ï€ Signal alert status
ï€ Environmental alert status and
ï€ UPS alert status
The MIBs in your console server are located in /etc/snmp/mibs. You also can view the current MIBs online at
http://opengear.com/download/snmp/and they include:
This new MIB contains serial and connected device status
information (for snmpstatusd & snmpalertd)
Enterprise structure of management information
SMIv1 traps from old MIBS (as smilint will not let SMIv1
structures coexist with SMIv2)
15.5.2 Check firewall rules
 Select System: Firewall and ensure the SNMP daemon box has been checked for the interface required. This
will allow SNMP requests through the firewall for the specified interface.
