Introduction
This manual serves as a reference for implementing SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) with Quantum DXi-Series systems. It is designed for system administrators and field service engineers who manage DXi backup and recovery infrastructure. The guide details how to leverage SNMP for monitoring system status, receiving alerts, and diagnosing events within the DXi environment.
Key Features and Information
- SNMP Functionality: Explains how DXi systems support standard SNMP, including GET queries and unicast traps, for remote monitoring and management.
- SNMP Version: Details the support for SNMP version 2c for MIB information retrieval and configuration parameters for remote access.
- SNMP Traps: Provides instructions on configuring the system to send automatic alerts for specific events, including failure, warning, and informational traps.
- SNMP Queries: Describes how to initiate SNMP queries (GET queries) to gather status information about system components.
- SNMP Community Strings: Outlines the role of SNMP community strings as passwords for authenticating messages between management applications and the DXi device.
