Open the corresponding table. If the table is empty, then empty columns will be
displayed.
Click on Edit. It is now possible to display the values for every single column in the
table.
Enter the index of the table and the value for the column to be subsequently placed,
and click on Set at the right-hand side of the latter column.
A new column with the new index and the value for another column should now appear.
It is also possible to enter values for all columns of the row and simultaneously place all
columns, using Set All.
This procedure can also be carried out using Edit MIB Vars.. in the Manage menu. In
this case, click through to the table, single-click on the column to be placed, enter the
index in the field Variable Name after the name of this column and the new value in
Variable Value. After clicking Set, a new table row should appear.
Error messages via SNMP trap
Error or warning messages can be sent to a manager using the SNMP mechanism. The
SNMP agent contained in the router permits traps to be sent to up to 20 SNMP managers.
The IP addresses of these managers are configured in the Configuration menu under
/setup/SNMP-module/IP-Trap-Table
. You can enable and disable the trans-
mission of trap messages using the
/setup/SNMP-module/Send-Traps
switch.
The Management Information Base (MIB)
A textual representation of the configuration structure (the so-called private MIB) must
be supplied with the
ELSA MicroLink Cable
so that the SNMP management system can
access its configuration. The syntax of this MIB complies with ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax
Notation One, ISO 8824). There is usually a so-called MIB compiler included with the
SNMP management software. This compiler converts the MIB file into a form that can
be used by the manager.
The current ELSA MIB can be found both included with the product on CD and in the ELSA
online media.
