SNMP and Clusters

When working with a cluster of GigaVUE HC Series nodes, you configure SNMP hosts and notification events from the leader/VIP address. The settings are then pushed to each node. However, when a clustered node sends an SNMP notification, it is sent from its own Mgmt port, not from the leader/VIP address.

In addition, you browse each individual clustered node’s MIB separately, not over the VIP/ leader.

SNMP is supported on both Legacy (HiGig) and E-TAG clusters comprising of GigaVUE HC Series and GigaVUE TA Series devices. SNMP Get/Walk is supported on leader, standby, and member devices. SNMP Get/Walk can be performed using management and IP interfaces. Each device in a cluster must be polled separately for getting the port details.

Note:  A GigaVUE TA Series node can never assume the role of a leader in a clustered environment.
