SNMP Settings

Administration > Network Configuration > SNMP Settings

SNMP trap notifications are especially useful for monitoring the state of the IWSVA services—IWSVA will issues a trap notifying you if a service stops unexpectedly. IWSVA supports SNMP agent notifications for the following events:

System Information Setup

Specify all the necessary system information here.

The community that you specify in the Community Name and Default Community fields identifies the community in which the SNMP object belongs. In SNMP, every managed object belongs to a community. This provides a minimal amount of security, since designating communities can define which SNMP agents can communicate.

Access Control Setup

Specify all the necessary access control information here.

The fields in this section are read-only since IWSVA will be sending simple status and alert messages. For the Read-Only Object Identifier (OID) field, the object ID (OID) is the code for a particular message, alert, or alarm. The ”object” is the actual message, alert, or alarm.

SNMP Queries and Traps

Administrators can poll the hardware status using SNMP queries and receive alerts through SNMP traps. To do this, administrators need import the hardware-monitoring MIB file into an SNMP tool like the iReasoning MIB Browser.

IWSVA also supports two standard MIB files for network interface card statistics:

These are available from:

The third Trend Micro-specific MIB for hardware events monitoring is located at: http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/documentation/guides/MIBs.zip

To receive traps from IWSVA, administrators need configure the SNMP trap destination.
