Setting SNMP Parameters
Carry out the procedures in this section only if you want to manage your ATM
subsystem from an SNMP workstation.
If you want to manage the ATM subsystem in the 6416SW from an SNMP workstation,
you may access the 6416SW through either a Classical IP subnetwork or a LAN
Emulation subnetwork.
The steps required to set the SNMP parameters depend on the type of subnetwork you
will use:
Classical IP over ATM subnetwork (IP)
Set Set IP Address and Subnetwork Mask
Set Default Gateway
Set ARP server
Set Community Table
Set Alerts
802.3 LAN Emulation over ATM subnetwork (LE)
Set LAN Emulation Client parameters (including IP Address and
Subnetwork Mask)
Set Default Gateway
Set Community Table
Set Alerts
These steps are described in the following sections.
Note: Although it is expensive, nothing prevents you from using both subnetworks at
the same time, each subnetwork being independent from the other (no communication
between them). In the latter case an ARP server and an 802.3 LES are required. A
single subnetwork must be chosen for the Default Gateway.
