Configuring Workgroups Using SNMP
6.2 WORKGROUP CONFIGURATION PROCEDURES
You should have a familiarity with networking concepts and principles. In 
addition, a basic understanding of SNMP is helpful. SNMP Configuration 
information is shown on the following pages. 
To configure workgroups using SNMP, proceed as follows: 
When writing to the els10-27WorkGroupType entry, the following checks are 
made:
If the els10-27WorkGroupNumber is less than 1 or greater then 8, the 
command will be aborted.
If the els10-27WorkGroupName field is blank, the command will be aborted.
If the els10-27WorkGroupPorts is empty, the command will be aborted.
If the els10-27WorkGroupType field is not 3 or 4, the command will be 
aborted.
Step
Action
1
Read els10-27WorkGroupCurrentCount. This will tell you if another 
workgroup can be created.
If the value is less than 8, another workgroup can be created.

Read els10-27WorkGroupNextNumber. This is the next available 
index into the workgroup table.
This number should be written to els10-27WorkGroupNumber.
3
Write the number returned from els10-27WorkGroupNextNumber 
to els10-27WorkGroupNumber.
4
Write the new workgroup name to els10-27WorkGroupName.
