NMS login
NMS login overview
A Network Management Station (NMS) runs the SNMP client software. It offers a user-friendly interface
to facilitate network management. An agent is a program that resides in the device. It receives and
handles requests from the NMS. An NMS is a manager in an SNMP enabled network, whereas agents
are managed by the NMS. The NMS and agents exchange information through the SNMP protocol. At
present, the device supports multiple NMS programs, such as IMC.
By default, you cannot log in to the device through NMS. To enable NMS login, log in to the device via
the console port and make the configurations described in the following table.
The following table shows the configuration requirements of NMS login.

Configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface
Make sure the device and the NMS can reach each other
(By default, the IP address of the management Ethernet interface GigabitEthernet
0/1 is 192.168.0.1/24.)

NMS Configure the NMS. For more information, see the manual of your NMS
In addition, you need to configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface of the LB module
on the network device.
The LB module and network device are integrated to work as one device. From the perspective of an
SNMP UDP domain-based NMS, however, the network device and LB module are separate SNMP
agents. They have different software systems and manage their own MIB objects. To access an SNMP
agent, the NMS must get the IP address of the management interface on the agent. By default, the LB
module does not have an IP address, so you need to specify an IP address for the LB module.
Follow these steps to configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface of the LB module on
the network device:

CAUTION:
Before configuring the IP address of the management Ethernet interface of the LB module on the networ

device, you must configure the same IP address on the LB module. Otherwise, the NMS cannot access the
LB module by using the IP address.
