SNMP Agent Software for Windows Administration Guide: 1.2.3 Using the SNMP Configuration Utility

1.2.3 Using the SNMP Configuration Utility

The SNMP configuration utility provides a graphical user interface for configuring SNMP agent software on the managed node. You can access it from the Start menu or by running snmpconfig.exe which is found in \Program Files\Dialgoic\bin. The SNMP configuration utility enables you to configure system polling frequency and traps.

Note: The Application Monitoring tab in the SNMP configuration utility is not supported in Intel® Dialogic® System Release Version 5.1.1 Feature Pack 1 on PCI and CompactPCI for Microsoft* Windows NT/2000/XP on Intel® Architecture.

For more information, refer to the following sections:

System Polling Frequency
Traps

1.2.3.1 System Polling Frequency

The System Polling Frequency tab (Figure 2) enables you to determine the frequency with which the SNMP agents refresh the OIDs in the Common Module Group and Hardware Identification Group in the Hardware and Software (dlghwinf.mib) MIB.

Figure 2. SNMP Configuration Utility - System Polling Frequency Dialog

Use the System Polling Frequency Dialog to select or enter a polling frequency value between 0 and 32,000 seconds.

Note: The polling frequency you set with this tab has no effect on the frequency with which your network management application queries the SNMP agents.

1.2.3.2 Traps

The Traps tab (Figure 3) enables you to manage the traps that the SNMP agents send to the network management station(s). You can determine that traps will not be sent and send a test trap. You can enable or disable the following trap types:

Dialogic Service
Board Status Change
DS1 Alarm
DS1 Event Mask
ISDN D-Channel
ISDN B-Channel

This button sets status of the selected trap to Enabled.

Disable

This button sets status of the selected trap to Disabled.
