The management system sends a GET object ss1C110SoftwareVerString command The SBC sends an matching SNMP request over Ethernet to the Blackrock DSP card The SBC extracts the data from the response and sends it back to the management system SNMP Traps By using an SNMP structure called a trap an SNMP message can also be initiated by the agent application and sent to the network management system autonomously This therefore means that the network management system does not have to continuously poll each agent for every possible status but will still be able to report on both major and minor issues Using this structure therefore the SBC s agent application can flag without receiving a request from the management system significant error events such as DSP failures or a software crash LocAL CONFIGURATION Configuration of what status information can be requested and which errors are flagged via a trap are defined in the SBC s Management Information Base or MIB for short This is located on the SBC and will be found in the usr share snmp mibs folder There will be two MIB files found here one for the Blackrock DSP card and console and one for the B RIO In addition to requesting status information management systems can also set any objects that are defined as read writeable in the MIB although in the C100 HDS implementation no parameters are set as writable most of the objects defined in the MIBs such as the power sup

In the case of the C100 HDS system the Blackrock DSP card the console control surface and the RIO I O unit are all systems which can be managed access is facilitated by the SBC Linux processor The system management function itself will be provided by a third party management system or systems the SBC acts simply as an SNMP agent or bridge communicating with the SSL system s and passing that information on via SNMP There are at the time of writing three versions of SNMP known simply as SNMPvI SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 The SBC at this time supports both versions and 2 but not version 3 Each version of SNMP is an enhancement on the previous one where version 2 improves use and flexibility of the protocol whilst version 3 largely adds additional security features There are at present no plans to implement SNMPv3 How IT WORKS The SNMP agent application running on the SBC accepts SNMP requests from the management system and in turn requests the required information from the Blackrock DSP card across the SSL network connection Responses from the Blackrock DSP card are interpreted by the SNMP agent and returned to the management system For example if the management system submits a request for the system software version the agent application on the SBC will send the relevent Ethernet request to the Blackrock DSP card interpret the response and respond to the management system with the temperature measurement as follows e
