The PXS supports monitoring using the Internet standard SNMPv1 protocol.
Advanced Relay's assigned private enterprise number
is 18325 with the ARC's private MIB rooted at:
{ iso org dod internet private enterprises 18325 }
The current version of the Advanced Relay MIB file is ARC-MIB.txt.
The ARC-MIB defines an extensible set of both objects and traps (which may
vary depending on the running application).
To enable the SNMP agent, use the agent command:
RedBoot> agent enable SNMP agent: enabled
The default PXS community is laygopxs. You can change the community with the
RedBoot community command:
RedBoot> community ourcommunity SNMP community: ourcommunity
The PXS-specific information group is:
{ iso org dod internet private enterprises 18325 2 }
It includes the following objects:
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| pxsSerial | Hardware serial number of the PXS. |
| pxsApplication | Name and version of the currently executing application. |
| pxsTrapCount | Number of SNMP traps generated since startup. |
| pxsTrapHistory | The last 5 traps sent by the PXS. |
The trap count and trap history enable a monitor to poll periodically for missed traps and the last 5 traps sent. The trap history is an ASCII string with the format:
traps [generic(g):specific(s):interface:uptime] ...
where
traps is the total number of traps send since startupgeneric and specific are human-readable strings
identifying the traps and the values in parentheses are the corresponding
numeric trap codesinterface is the PXS port number (plus 1) for
linkUp and linkDown trapsuptime is the time (in 100ths of a second since
startup) at which the trap was sent.By default, the PXS also supports the MIB-II System Group:
{ iso org dod internet mgmt mib-2 system }
This enables a remote entity to identify the PXS.
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| sysDescr | LayGO Protocol eXchange Server version 1.0 (c) 2004 Advanced Relay Corporation |
| sysObjectID | 1.3.6.1.4.1.18325.1.1 |
| sysUpTime | PXS up time in hundredths of seconds |
| sysContact | Configurable with RedBoot contact command. |
| sysName | Configurable with RedBoot host command. |
| sysLocation | Configurable with RedBoot location command. |
| sysServices | 72 |
The PXS supports sending SNMP traps as a means of notifying an SNMP monitor of events that may require human intervention. To enable sending SNMP traps, use the snmp command to configure the address of the SNMP server and the trap command to enable traps:
RedBoot> snmp 192.168.250.2 SNMP server: 192.168.250.2 RedBoot> trap enable SNMP trap: enabled
When traps are enabled, the PXS will always send a coldStart trap (as
described in Section 2.2.2 of RFC 1215)
on startup. Other traps are generated based on the specific application running
on the PXS.
