Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions. Dominion KSX offers SNMP Agent support through Event Management.
Choose the Enable SNMP Logging option. This enables the remaining SNMP fields.
In the Name, Contact, and Location fields, type the SNMP agent's name (that is, the device's name) as it appears in the Dominion KSX Console interface, a contact name related to this device, and where the Dominion device is physically located, respectively.
Type the Agent Community String (the device's string). An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where information is sent. The community name is used to identify the group. The SNMP device or agent may belong to more than one SNMP community.
Specify whether the community is Read-Only or Read-Write using the Type drop-down list.
Configure up to five SNMP managers by specifying their Destination IP, Port #, and Community.
Click the "Click here to view the Dominion- SNMP MIB" link to access the SNMP Management Information Base.
Click OK.
Syslog Configuration
To configure the Syslog (enable Syslog forwarding):
Choose the Enable Syslog Forwarding option to log the device's messages to a remote Syslog server.
Type the IP Address of your Syslog server in the IP Address field.
