TR-069 Client
32.1
Overview
This chapter explains how to configure the VMG’s TR-069 auto-configuration settings.
32.2
The TR-069 Client Screen
TR-069 defines how Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), for example your VMG, can be managed
over the WAN by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). TR-069 is based on sending Remote
Procedure Calls (RPCs) between an ACS and a client device. RPCs are sent in Extensible Markup
Language (XML) format over HTTP or HTTPS.
An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the VMG, modify settings, perform firmware
upgrades as well as monitor and diagnose the VMG. You have to enable the device to be managed
by the ACS and specify the ACS IP address or domain name and username and password.
Click
Maintenance > TR-069 Client
to open the following screen. Use this screen to configure
your VMG to be managed by an ACS.

ACS User Name
Enter the TR-069 user name for authentication with the auto-configuration server.
ACS Password
Enter the TR-069 password for authentication with the auto-configuration server.
WAN Interface
used by TR-069
client
Select a WAN interface through which the TR-069 traffic passes.
If you select
Any_WAN
, the VMG automatically passes the TR-069 traffic when any WAN
connection is up.
If you select
Multi_WAN
, you also need to select two or more pre-configured WAN
interfaces. The VMG automatically passes the TR-069 traffic when one of the selected WAN
connections is up.

Enter the connection request user name.
When the ACS makes a connection request to the VMG, this user name is used to
authenticate the ACS.
Connection

This shows the connection request URL.
The ACS can use this URL to make a connection request to the VMG.

SNMP
33.1
Overview
This chapter explains how to configure the SNMP settings on the VMG.
33.2
The SNMP Screen
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information
between network devices. Your VMG supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager
station to manage and monitor the VMG through the network. The VMG supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.
Figure 146
SNMP Management Model
An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the VMG). An agent
translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with
SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network
management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of
information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of
packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of
managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing
these objects.

SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The
manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:
Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent.
GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an
agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it
initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent.
Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.
