2.4 Stopping and Starting Boards

In order to use the SNMP agent software, you must start all the Intel Dialogic boards and Intel NetStructure boards on the managed node. Starting the boards results in downloading firmware with configuration parameter settings to the boards and initiating their host device drivers. Once you have used the SNMP agent to read OIDs from the managed node, you can start and stop the boards from the network management station as follows:

For starting/stopping an individual Intel NetStructure or Intel Dialogic board (excluding Intel Dialogic Springware boards, which cannot be individually stopped or started):

1. Open the network management application MIB browser.
2. Traverse the Hardware MIB tree looking for the dlgHiIdentAdminStatus OID for the desired Intel NetStructure board.
   • To start a stopped board, set dlgHiIdentAdminStatus object to start-pending.
   • To stop a started board, set dlgHiIdentAdminStatus object to stop-pending.

For starting/stopping all Intel NetStructure and Intel Dialogic boards:

1. Open the network management application MIB browser.
2. Traverse the Hardware MIB tree looking for the dlgHiIdentServiceStatus OID for the desired board.
   • To start stopped service, set dlgHiIdentServiceStatus object to start-pending.
   • To stop started service, set dlgHiIdentServiceStatus object to stop-pending.

When a board start/stop has completed, a dlgHiBoardStatusChange trap will be generated, indicating completion of the desired operation.
