SNMP

SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is the Internet's standard for remote monitoring and management of hosts, routers and other nodes and devices on a network. Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move provides an SNMP sub-agent that can be managed from an SNMP Management Console.

Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move installs two components to work with SNMP.

1. The sub-agent is a program that installs and runs on the same machine as Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move and gathers statistics, data, and traps. The sub-agent forwards the information to the SNMP agent, which relays the information to the manager. The Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move SNMP sub-agent is included in the Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move installation program.
2. A Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move MIB file is placed on the administrator’s machine so that the Management Console can interpret the data sent from the sub-agent. The Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move .mib file is dt.mib and meets SNMP standards.

For Linux servers, the Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move SNMP sub-agent is only supported for NET -SNMP v2c. Also, Ubuntu SNMP is not supported.
