Disadvantages
Accessing the SNMP Interface
Accessing the SNMP interface requires a tool, such as a network management station. The
management station relies on an agent at a device to retrieve or update the information at
the device, including Device configuration, status, and statistical information. This
information is viewed as a logical database, called a Management Information Base
(MIB). MIB modules describe MIB variables for a variety of device types and computer
hardware and software components.
The MIB for managing a TCP/IP network, called MIB-II, is an update on the original
MIB, now called MIB-I. MIB-II contains variable definitions that describe the most basic
information needed to manage a TCP/IP network. These variable definitions are organized
into several groups, such as groups for managing the system, network interfaces, address
translation, transmission media, and various protocols, including IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP,
EGP, and SNMP.
In addition to the standard MIBs, Digi Connect devices use several Digi enterprise MIBs,
including MIB DIGI-DEVICE-INFO.mib for handling device information, and
DIGI-SERIAL-ALARM-TRAPS.mib for handling alarms sent as SNMP traps.
Where to find more information
A variety of resources about SNMP are available, including reference books, and
overviews and other files on the Internet. For an overview of the SNMP interface and the
components of MIB-II, point your Internet browser to the address www.rfceditor.org, and
enter “MIB-II.” From the results, you can display a text file describing the SNMP
interface, titled “Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-
based internets: MIB-II.” You can also view the text of the Digi enterprise MIBs.
As device communication is UDP-based, the communication is not secure. If
you require more secure communications with a device, you will need to use an
alternate interface.
Using SNMP, you cannot do as many tasks as you can from the default web
interface, such as file management, uploading firmware, or backing up/
restoring configurations.
Compared to the default web interface or the command-line interface, SNMP is
limited in its ability to set specific parameters, such as set port profile, is not
possible.
