SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol)
SNMP standard protocol is now supported with the RMX. It enables
managing and monitoring of the MCU status by external managing
systems, such as HP OpenView or through web applications.
Detailed Description
MIBs are a collection of definitions, which define the properties of the
managed object within the device to be managed. Every managed device
keeps a database of values for each of the definitions written in the MIB.
The SNMP systems poll the MCU according to the MIB definitions. In
addition, the MCU is able to send Traps to different managers. Traps are
messages that are sent by the MCU to the SNMP Manager when an event
such as MCU Reset occurs.
MIB (Management Information Base) Files
The H.341 standard defines the MIBs that H.320 and H.323 MCUs must
comply with. In addition, other MIBs should also be supported, such as
MIB-II and the ENTITY MIB, which are common to all network entities.
The MIBS are contained in files in the SNMP MIBS sub-directory of the
RMX root directory. The files should be loaded to the SNMP external
system and compiled within that application. Only then can the SNMP
external application perform the required monitoring tasks.
Private MIBS
• RMX-MIB (RMX-MIB.MIB)
— Contains the statuses of the RMX: Startup, Normal and Major.
— Contains all the Alarms of the RMX that are sent to the SNMP
Manager.
The MULTI-MEDIA_MIB_TC must be compiled before compiling the other
MIBs.
