Define SNMP Set
The Define SNMP Set page maintains a collection of MIB objects included in a SNMP set. A SNMP set is a collection of MIB objects used to monitor the performance of SNMP enabled network devices. Typically, a threshold is assigned to each MIB object in a SNMP set. Alarms can be set to trigger if any of the thresholds in the SNMP set are exceeded. A SNMP set should be defined as a logical collection of things to monitor. SNMP sets are maintained using Monitor > SNMP Sets. SNMP sets can be manually assigned to monitor a SNMP device using Monitor > Assign SNMP or Monitor > SNMP Type. SNMP Sets also provides a method of automatically assigning SNMP monitoring to an SNMP device. All SNMP Sets assigned to an SNMP device are displayed in Assign SNMP. SNMP alarms can be displayed using Monitor > SNMP Log or View Console.
Note: Certain command line functions from the Net-SNMP suite of applications are used to implement SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c retrieval of information from SNMP capable devices in accordance with all pertinent copyright requirements.
Note: Sample SNMP sets can be loaded from the System > Configure page.
