•
SNMP Enable – SNMP must be enabled for the handset to process
SNMP Get commands. SNMP may be enabled or disabled from
the Administration Menus or Version 2 configurations files.
SNMP may also be enabled or disabled interactively from a
remote SNMP application through an SNMP Set command. The
only SNMP parameter on the handset supporting a Set command
is diagSNMPEnabled. Setting this parameter to TRUE(1) enables
SNMP. Setting this parameter to FALSE(2) disables SNMP. The
Set command is accepted whether or not SNMP is enabled but is
only accepted from devices with an IP address matching one
configured in the SNMP IP address(es) and using the SNMP
Private Community String.
•
SNMP IP address – The handset only responds to SNMP
commands originating from devices with one of these IP
addresses. In Version 2 configuration files, multiple comma
separated IP addresses and/or DNS names may be entered in the
settings.txt or phone specific configuration files. A single IP
address may be entered from the Administration Menus. If an IP
address is entered from the Administration Menus, any
previously configured IP address(es) are erased.
•
SNMP Public Community String – This value is set to enable
viewing of the phone's MIB. The handset responds to SNMP Get
commands if the public community string set on the handset
matches the community string in the Get command. Ensure the
public community string is set to the same value on the handset
and the remote SNMP application. The public community string
may be set from the Administration Menus or Version 2
configuration files. The string can be 1-32 characters.
•
SNMP Private Community String - This value must be set to
enable processing of a Set command for the diagSNMPEnabled
parameter on the handset. The handset responds to SNMP Set
and Get commands if the private community string set on the
handset matches the community string in the SNMP command.
Ensure the private community string is set to the same value on
the handset and the remote SNMP application. The private
community string may be set from the Administration Menus or
Version 2 configuration files. The string can be 1-32 characters.
If the source IP address of the SNMP command does not match
one of the SNMP addresses configured in the handset or the SNMP
community string in the SNMP command does not match the
community string in the handset, the handset will not respond to the
SNMP command.
