4. To define device name, in Device Name (SysName), enter a name. The device name should
allow easy identification of the device. Once you click Apply, the newly entered device
name appears in the title bar. If you type in the title bar another name, once you click
Apply it overrides the device name entered in Device Name box.
NOTE: The Device Name is also required for the SNMP manager for defining the attributes of the
SYSTEM MIB. See 3.5 Configuring SNMP and Syslog Parameters on page 28.
5. In System Uptime, view the time the device is up and running since the last reboot.
6. To set the GbE ports to support the IGMPv2 protocol only, select Force IGMP V2. NSG
9000-6G ignores any IGMPv3 messages and does not generate any IGMPv3 messages.
3.5 Configuring SNMP and Syslog Parameters
3.5.1 Configuring SNMP
NSG 9000-6G is capable of reporting its status via SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) to a third-party SNMP-based network management systems.
NSG 9000-6G status is reported to the SNMP manager in the following ways:
• SNMP Traps - notifications that the NSG device initiates and sends to the SNMP manager
to indicate the assertion or remittance of an alarm or warning. SNMP Traps are sent only
to SNMP managers that are registered with the NSG 9000-6G.
• Alarms status queries - the SNMP manager may query the NSG for its current alarms
status. The NSG reports this information using standard and custom SNMP MIBs.
• Configuration and Traffic queries - the SNMP manager may query the NSG for various
configuration parameters, as well as various traffic counters that indicate the rate of traffic
that is flowing through the NSG's interfaces.
In addition, NSG 9000-6G supports Syslog - a standard-based method for centralized logging
of device messages. A Syslog server that is registered with the NSG 9000-6G device will
receive messages from the device whenever an alarm or warning is asserted or remitted.
