F3215-HP Load Balancing Module System Management Configuration Guide-6PW101

Logging in through SNMP

You can run SNMP on an NMS to access the MIB and perform GET and SET operations to manage and

monitor the LB module. The LB module supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3, and can work with

various network management software modules, including IMC. For more information about SNMP, see

System Maintenance Configuration Guide.

By default, SNMP access is disabled. To enable SNMP access, log in to the LB module through any other

method and configure SNMP login.

Configuring SNMP login

Connect the PC (the NMS) and the LB module to the network, making sure they can reach each other, as

shown in Figure 28. This s

ection describes only the basic SNMP configuration procedures on the LB

module.

IMPORTANT:

To make SNMP operate correctly, make sure the SNMP settin

s (includin

the SNMP version) on the NMS

are consistent with those on the LB module.

Prerequisites

• Assign an IP address to a Layer 3 interface on the LB module. By default, the LB module has the IP

address 192.168.0.1/24 configured for the interface GigabitEthernet 0/1.

• Configure routes to make sure the NMS and the Layer 3 interface can reach each other.
