Adding an SnmpNetwork

When you add an SnmpNetwork to a station, a “local device” () component comes with the SnmpNetwork component. This local device (also referred to as an “Snmp Agent”) allows you to expose data to remote Snmp sources (managers). Only one local device is allowed under the SnmpNetwork and is pre-configured as “enabled”, by default.

To add an SnmpNetwork to the station

Use the following procedure to add an SnmpNetwork component under the station Drivers container.

To add an SnmpNetwork in the station:

Double-click the station Drivers container. The About the Driver Manager view appears in the view pane.
Click the New button to bring up the New DeviceNetwork dialog box. For more details, see Driver Manager New and Edit in the NiagaraAX-3.x Drivers Guide.
Select “SnmpNetwork,” number to add: 1 and click OK.

You can add only one SnmpNetwork object to a station.

This brings up the New dialog box. Type a name in the name field (or accept the default name) and select enable to enable the network.
Click OK to add the SnmpNetwork to the station.

The SnmpNetwork appears in the Driver Manager view with the name that you assigned in the previous step. The Status should be “{ok}” and Enabled field set to “true.” The SnmpNetwork node should also appear under your Drivers node in the Workbench nav side bar.
You must save and restart the station before the SnmpNetwork object will start network communications.
