Administering SNMP trap receivers

About this task

Follow this procedure to send traps from the AE Server to an SNMP manager, which can be either a local NMS device, an Avaya SSG, or an Avaya SAL.

Procedure

  1. From the AE Services Management Console main menu, select Utilities > SNMP Traps > SNMP Trap Receivers.
  2. From the SNMP Traps Web page, select Add and complete the Add SNMP Trap page.

    If you are using SNMP Version 1 or 2c, complete Steps 3 through 10. If you are using SNMP Version 3, complete Steps 3 through 15.

  3. Leave the Enabled check box selected (the default).
  4. In the Device field, select the type of monitoring device that is to receive traps.
    • Select NMS to send all traps to an SNMP trap destination, for example, IBM Tivoli, HP Openview, or SAL. If you are administering a Software-Only server, the Device setting is restricted to NMS.

    • Select SSG/SAL to send INADS notifications to an Avaya Secure Services Gateway or Secure Access Link. Keep in mind that only an SSG or SAL is capable of generating INADS notifications. This option is available only to clients who have purchased an Avaya Services contract.

  5. In the IP address field, type the host name IP address of the device to receive the traps.
  6. In the Port field type the TCP/UDP port number that AE Services is to use for sending traps.

    Keep in mind that the port number you specify must match the port number administered on the SNMP manager that is to receive the notification. The default is 162 .

  7. In the Notification Type field, select Trap (the default).
  8. Select the SNMP Version that is appropriate for your SNMP managed network.

    The default is 3. If you are sending traps to an SSG, select 2c.

  9. Type the Security Name that is appropriate for your SNMP network, as follows:

    For devices that use SNMP version 1 or 2c, type the community name that the SNMP administrative domain uses for authentication. For devices that use SNMP version 3, type the security name that the SNMP administrative domain uses for authentication. You can not leave this field blank or use the terms public or private.

  10. Based on the version of SNMP you are using, do one of the following:
    • If you are using SNMP version 1 or 2c, click Apply to put your settings into effect. (You have completed all the necessary fields, and the procedure is complete.)

    • If you are using SNMP version 3, you must complete Steps 11 through 15.

  11. Select the option for the Authentication Protocol that your SNMP managed network uses:
    • None indicates that the network does not perform authentication. This is the default.

    • MD5 indicates that the network uses the MD5 based authentication protocol.

    • SHA indicates that the network uses the SHA authentication protocol.

  12. Type an Authentication Password.

    This password can be a 6- to 32-character string. Validate the Authentication Password by retyping it in the Confirm Password field.

  13. Select the option for the Privacy Protocol that your SNMP managed network uses:
    • None indicates that the network does not use a privacy protocol and does not perform any encryption. This is the default.

    • DES indicates that the network uses the DES encryption protocol.

    • AES indicates that the network uses the AES encryption protocol.

  14. Type a Privacy Password.

    This password can be a 6- to 32-character string. Validate the Privacy Password by retyping it in the Confirm Password field.

  15. Click Apply to put your settings into effect.
