9.724 Viprinet-HUB-SNMP

This page describes the Viprinet-HUB-SNMP device driver and the device window for this driver.

The Viprinet-Tunnel-SNMP driver is part of a group of device drivers used to monitor the Viprinet Hub / Router device family and thereby taking into account the modular concept of these devices:

Viprinet-Tunnel-SNMP monitors the status and performance of one VPN tunnel in a Viprinet Hub and not the Hub itself. There is one instance of this device to configured for each VPN tunnel to monitor. Control of parameters is not possible.

Viprinet-Rugged-Router-SNMP monitors some general status parameters of a Viprinet Router device, including the general state of the router's WAN interfaces. Control of parameters is not possible.

Viprinet-Rugged-Router-HTTPS monitors detailed status parameters of a Viprinet Router device, including the detailed state of the router's WAN interfaces. It permits to reconnect / reset each individual WAN interface and also control of WiFi access point, Roaming and APN.

The Viprinet Hub, Tunnel and Router SNMP device drivers are monitoring only. A Viprinet Router is controlled over the HTTPS device driver and the Viprinet-HTTPS protocol.

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

• --- The status parameters of the device
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the device.

• parameter --- description
• address --- The SNMP address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community
  • aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd --- The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
  • pppp --- The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
  • read-community --- The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
  • write-community --- The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses 'public' as a default for read and write community.

The Viprinet hub / router devices use 'public' as read community by default.

Please note that multiple device driver instances which are talking to the same device must be configured with the same interface. Also the Viprinet-Tunnel-SNMP devices must be configured within the same interface.
