Enabling SNMP reporting and logging
SNMP reporting is supported on SteelHead SD SD-570, SD-770, SD-3070 and 2030-SDI appliances located at the branch.
When direct SNMP reporting is enabled, your network management system (NMS) initiates the SNMP poll to all individual appliances in a realm. The appliances send SNMP data directly to the NMS. You can override this setting to limit the SNMP data to all gateways within an organization.
To enable SNMP operations (such as SNMP GET and SNMP WALK or asynchronous traps from a SteelHead SD appliance), you need to provide the NMS interface IP address through which the appliance is reachable. The IP address of the appliance is required:
•For a 2030-SDI located at the data center, use the management IP address. To view the management IP, choose Appliances > IPs tab.
•For the SD-570, SD-770, SD-3070, and 2030-SDI at the branch, use the zone IP address for the appliance. To view the zone IP address, choose Appliances. Select the appliance and click the IPs tab. Scroll down to Under Zone gateway assignment (internal) IPs, to view the zone IP address.
The port number to query the SteelHead SDs is the standard SNMP port 161. You need to specify this port if the NMS doesn’t use it by default.
For details on SNMP supported versions and how to configure SNMP, see
Enabling SNMP reporting and logging in the
SteelConnect Manager User Guide.
Exporting syslog messages to an external syslog server
You can export syslogs to an external server using SCM for SteelHead SD SD-570, SD-770, SD-3070, and 2030-SDI appliances located at the branch. For syslog reporting, the only requirement is that the appliance reach the remote syslog server.
For details on sending syslog data to a remote server, see
Defining an organization in the
SteelConnect Manager User Guide.
