FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 3 of 39 1. SNMP Description The SNMP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet using the SNMP version 1 protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server (SNMP Agent) or Client. Max Nodes Supported: FieldServer Mode Nodes Comments Client 25 Each Node is specified by a unique IP address Server 1 As a Server the SNMP driver can act as a single Node only The Client can be configured to read values s

FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 13 of 39 Appendix A. Advanced Topics Appendix A.1. Receiving SNMP TRAPS A trap can reveal the causal event in two ways: • The cause can be indicated by the OID number inside the trap with the event state reported by the associated data value. • The cause can be indicated by the value of one OID field and the event state by the value of another OID field. Appendix A.1.1. Trap Source IP Address When a trap is received it contains its source IP

FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 14 of 39 Appendix A.1.2. Receiving SNMP TRAPs using the SNMP Client In order to receive Traps, the SNMP Client requires a Map Descriptor to be configured for each OID that is to be updated via a Trap. Note that a single Trap message may contain multiple OID’s, depending on the Agent originating the Trap. Each OID of interest requires its own Map Descriptor. The Map Descriptor Function must be set to Passive_Client. Example: // Server

FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 15 of 39 Appendix A.1.3. Receiving SNMP Traps – Storing using a Lookup Table Some devices send trap messages with the same OID’s irrespective of the causal events. The OID contents provide event specific information such as event origin and state. Consider a trap containing 3 OID’s. One has an integer value (event state) and the other two have strings reporting the event source. The SNMP driver is capable of using the two string OID’s to form

FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 16 of 39 Step 1: Define the Lookup Table The driver loads the table into memory and uses it when a new trap is received. If the search string is formed by concatenating two OID Sting fields then the driver places a colon, thus a colon should be placed between the two substrings. If the search string formed from the trap contents does not match an entry in the table the driver prints a message in the error log at an offset of zero. For this r

FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 17 of 39 Step 2 : Create a Map Descriptor (MD) to catch the Trap Pay special consideration to the following parameters; • SNMP_OID: Specify the OID of the event state. The field must contain an integer value which is the value that will be stored. When st the trap is received the driver extracts the contents and takes the 1 OID in the message and looks for a MD whose ‘SNMP_OID’ matches. If it doesn’t find one then the trap is discarded. • S

FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 18 of 39 Appendix A.2. Sending SNMP TRAPS using the SNMP Server/Agent There are two ways to send traps using the driver • A rule based appoach – COV (Change of Value): Driver watches a data point. If the data changes and meets the condition of some rule then the trap is generated. • Non-rule – Driver sends the trap uncondionally based on a time interval or whenever the source data point is udpated (even if there is no change.) Change of Val

FS-8704-09 SNMP Driver Manual Page 20 of 39 Example of a Trap Sent: In this example the trap was the 1st trap defined in the configuration. That is why the Trap OID = 6. The MD name was 'ambTemp'. Its name begins with a lower case character to meet validation requirements. The configuration file definition for the trap had the OID set to 1.3.6.1.4.1.6347.1.1.1.0. When the trap was produced the value was 120 and the trap was produced because the value was above the Hi Alarm thr
