SNMP Implementation
This addendum does not describe how to implement SNMP. Refer to your SNMP
manager documentation and/or MIB (Management Information Base) information
for instructions on implementing SNMP, Version 1.

Basic SNMP Information

Before you can use and reconfigure SNMP services, you need to know the
community names in your network and the IP addresses or computer names for
SNMP management hosts that traps are sent to.

List of Terms
The terms listed below are used in this addendum:

Term Definition

Community name Identifies a collection of SNMP agents and managers.

Hybrid Management Sub-Layer Subcommittee of the

SCTE. This subcommittee has developed a set of MIBs
HMS
to standardize the SNMP interface for management of
headend optical and RF equipment.

Local craft interface. A software that functions as a

LCI
user interface for the Prisma II platform.

A database that defines the properties of a managed

Management SNMP object, which is monitored by a NMS using a
Information Base (MIB) protocol like SNMP. The MIB is the object tree divided
into logically related groups of objects.

A network host found in a managed network that

Network Management
monitors and controls other network agents, including
System (NMS)

Overview, Continued

Term Definition

SNMP was developed by the Internet community to

monitor and manage networks. A protocol that
manages complex networks, it can manage and
Simple Network monitor various network elements by sending
Management Protocol messages to different parts of the network requesting
(SNMP) data about these elements. The SNMP protocol with
the MIB provides a standard way to view and change
network management information on devices from
various vendors.

An SNMP application that monitors network traffic

and responds to queries from SNMP manager
applications. The agent also notifies the manager by
sending a trap when significant events occur. The
SNMP agent (server) SNMP agent application resides in the device. It
provides information about a network configuration
and operations, such as the device’s network
interfaces, routing tables, IP packets sent and received,
and IP packets lost.

An SNMP application that generates queries to SNMP

agent applications and receives traps from SNMP
agent applications. Monitors the network elements by
SNMP manager reading the values of the MIB objects from an SNMP
SNMP application agent. It runs in a network management station and
issues queries to gather information about the status,
configuration, and performance of external network
devices or network elements.

Information about a network configuration and

SNMP object operation stored in a standard format defined in the
MIB.

Traps are unsolicited messages, which are sent from a

device to an SNMP application. The message is sent by
Traps
the SNMP agent on the device to notify an SNMP
application of a change in status.

SNMP Configuration

Introduction
The IP Setup menu item in the ICIM menu allows you to enter an IP address, IP
subnet, and Gateway IP in order to configure the ICIM for remote status monitoring
and control by an SNMP network management system.
This addendum does not describe how to implement SNMP. Refer to your SNMP
manager documentation and/or MIB information for instructions on implementing
SNMP, Version 1.
All of this configuration is also available through the Boot Dialog. The Boot Dialog
also allows community names and the default port number for traps to be changed.
Note: Contact SciCare™ Broadband Services for MIB files. See For Information later
in this addendum for assistance centers’ phone numbers.

SNMP Considerations
The following items should be considered when implementing SNMP:
• The SNMP connection is made through the Ethernet port on the front of the ICIM.
(Use 10BaseT cable with an RJ-45 connector.)
• The NMS must be installed behind a firewall to prevent any ill-intentioned
persons with an SNMP manager from accessing, and tampering with, the ICIM.
• When the ICIM has to handle excessive SNMP traffic, it responds slowly to both
SNMP control and front panel input. If this occurs, reduce the update rate of the
SNMP manager.
Important: If an HDRx chassis is set to chassis ID 41, the ICIM does not detect
receiver 9 in that chassis.

Setting Up the IP Configuration Parameters for SNMP Support

Follow these steps to set up the IP configuration parameters.

1. Press the ICIM key.

Result: The ICIM menu displays.

2. Select the Password menu and enter the User Password.
Result: The ICIM allows configuration changes for the next 10 minutes.
Note: Refer to your specific hardware Installation and Operation Guide for
more information on using, entering, or changing the ICIM user password.

ICIM from the chassis backplane connector.
4. Pull the ICIM at least 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) out from the front of the chassis to
ensure that it is fully separated from the chassis backplane connector.
5. Reinsert the ICIM into the chassis until the ejector levers insert into their
respective slots in the chassis.
6. Push the ejector levers in and flat against the ICIM front panel to reconnect
the ICIM to the backplane connector until the ejector levers lock in place.
7. Screw in the captive screw to secure the ICIM in the chassis.

Community Names

Default Community Names

The community name provides primitive security and context checking for both
agents and managers that request and initiate trap operations. An agent does not
accept a request from a manager outside the community.
Community names that ICIM expects are:

Read Community public

Read/Write Community private

Trap Community SNMP_trap

Note: These can be changed using the Boot Dialog (in Boot Dialog for ICIM/SNMP
Configuration later in this document) along with the default port number for HMS
traps.

4002373 Rev C SNMP Support and New Features of the Prisma II ICIM 13
Setting SNMP Trap Receiver Parameters

Introduction
Using the SNMP trap receiver parameters, you can specify up to five IP addresses
that Scientific-Atlanta proprietary traps will be sent to. You can also specify what
events will result in a trap being sent to the network management systems at these IP
addresses. The Cold Start trap will always be sent to all network management
systems. The Authentication Failure trap will also be sent to all trap receivers if the
snmpEnableAuthenTraps is set to “Enabled”.
You can specify which enterprise specific traps are sent to each trap receiver by
setting variables in the P2TrapRecv table.

Set Traps in P2TrapRecvEntry

Entries to the P2TrapRecvEntry file can be made to send the trap information to a
trap handler. The SNMP agent automatically sends an alert when the value of an
object changes or exceeds a predefined threshold.
Follow these steps to set traps for a specific IP address.

1. On an SNMP manager, go to the P2TrapRecvEntry table.

2. Type the IP address that you want the trap sent.
3. Select Enable from the drop-down list.
Result: The new IP address is enabled and traps are sent to this IP address.
Any changes are immediately stored to the EEPROM so the changes are not
lost if power is lost or the ICIM is reset.

14 SNMP Support and New Features of the Prisma II ICIM 4002373 Rev C
New SNMP Variables

Introduction
Supporting traps requires additional data available through SNMP. This additional
data may be useful even if not using traps.
SNMP is the only way this additional data can be accessed. It cannot be accessed
through the ICIM front panel or an SMC interface.

Table of Inserted Modules

This table is named p2InsertModuleTable. This table contains a list of modules that
have been inserted since the last time the ICIM was reset or told to update the
chassis ID for all modules. It does not include modules found when the initial search
for modules is performed.
The modules are displayed in chronological order with the most recently inserted
module always being in index position 1. If the number of modules inserted exceeds
the capacity of the table, the oldest entries are deleted.
This table only contains the chassis and slot ID for a detected module. It is necessary
to look at the other tables for more information.
Each row of this table is made up of the following variables:

The index for this table. The most recently inserted

p2InsertModuleIndex
module is always in index position 1.

p2InsertModuleChassisID The chassis ID number of the new module.

p2InsertModuleSlotID The slot ID number of the new module.

Table of Removed Modules

This table is named p2RemoveModuleTable. This table contains a list of modules
that have been removed since the last time the ICIM was reset or told to update the
chassis ID for all modules.
The modules are displayed in chronological order with the most recently removed
module always being in index position 1. If the number of modules removed exceeds
the capacity of the table, the oldest entries are deleted.
If a module is removed before the PNP data is read in the type, name, and serial
number is blank.

Continued on next page

4002373 Rev C SNMP Support and New Features of the Prisma II ICIM 15
New SNMP Variables, Continued

Each row of this table is made up of the following variables:

The index for this table. The most recently removed

p2RemoveModuleIndex
module is always in index position 1.

p2RemoveModuleChassisID The chassis ID number of the removed module.

p2RemoveModuleSlotID The slot ID number of the removed module.

The name of the removed module. This is the name

is from the PNP data for this module and matches
p2RemoveModuleName what the ICIM and SNMP display as the name.
TNCS and LCI (local craft interface) may use a
different name.

The TNCS type number of the removed module.

p2RemoveModuleType This number uniquely identifies every type of
module.

The serial number of the removed module. This

p2RemoveModuleSerialNum information is needed to determine if a module has
been replaced with one that is the same type.

Previous IP Address
This variable is named p2PreviousIP. When the IP of the ICIM is changed using the
front panel, this variable returns the previous ICIM IP address. It returns 0.0.0.0 until
the IP address of the ICIM is changed for the first time.

Boot Dialog for ICIM/SNMP Configuration

Introduction
The boot dialog is presented whenever the ICIM is powered up (a cold boot). It is
accessible via the LCI communications port on the front of the Prisma2 chassis.
Important: A null modem is required along with a terminal emulator program, such
as the ubiquitous hyperTerm program on a Windows PC.
The serial port on the PC used by the terminal emulator program should be set up
with these parameters:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bit
• No parity bit
• 1 stop bit
This parameter is often displayed as: 9600 8-N-1

Continued on next page

4002373 Rev C SNMP Support and New Features of the Prisma II ICIM 17
Boot Dialog for ICIM/SNMP Configuration, Continued

The boot dialog’s primary use is to flash a new version of the ICIM application via a
TFTP server.
Important: Do this only under the direction of SciCare.
During a flash operation, the low-level parameters can be changed, including
community strings, port number for traps, IP address, etc.
The procedures below initially tells the ICIM that it is to be updated (flashed),
whereupon it presents a configuration dialog, new values are entered and saved,
then the ICIM is told to not update the program and proceed to normal ICIM
operations.

Preparing to Change Parameters

Follow these steps to prepare to change parameters.

1. When the ICIM is powered up, it presents a summary screen along with a
prompt to “…press any key within 5 seconds.”
