This topic provides information on administering the SNMP feature
on the Modular Messaging system. See Simple
Network Management Protocol overview for information on basic
SNMP concepts and features.
Before you attempt to administer SNMP Network Management Stations
(NMSs) for queries on the Modular Messaging system, make sure that
your remote network and the Modular Messaging system are both TCP/IP
enabled. See Networking for administration
procedures.
If you want to perform alarm notification via SNMP, you must administer
the NMS to which Modular Messaging sends alarm notification. See
your SNMP NMS application documentation for details about how to
complete this task and confirm communication between the NMS and
managed elements.
The tasks you must complete to administer SNMP on the Modular Messaging
system depend on the version of SNMP you are using.
Note: If you want to use SNMP for alarm notification,
you must first transfer the appropriate Avaya MIBs to the NMSs you
administer to receive alarm notification. The Avaya OAM and SNMP
MIBs are available from the Avaya Support Web site.
For SNMP versions 1 and 2c, complete the following tasks in the
following recommended order:
- Start and enable the SNMP Service
- Configuring MIB-II parameters
- Administering SNMP communities
- Administering SNMP NMSs for queries,
if you choose to use SNMP for queries
- Administering SNMP NMSs for alarms
(secondary NMS), if you choose to use SNMP for alarms
- Administering the alarm management, if you choose to administer
alarm management via SNMP (primary NMS). To access the Alarm Management
page, start at the Administration menu, and select Basic
System Administration > Alarming Administration. The
system displays the Alarm Management page. You can click field
names or click Help on the web-based administration
page for more information.
For SNMP version 3, complete the following tasks in the following
recommended order:
- Start and enable the SNMP Service
- Configuring MIB-II parameters
- Administering SNMP users
- Administering SNMP communities,
if you choose to use SNMP for alarms
- Administering SNMP NMSs for alarms
(secondary NMS), if you choose to use SNMP for alarms
- Administering the alarm management, if you choose to administer
alarm management via SNMP (primary NMS). To access the Alarm Management
page, start at the Administration menu, and select Basic
System Administration > Alarming Administration. The
system displays the Alarm Management page. You can click field
names or click Help on the web-based administration
page for more information.
| Note: Administrators can perform Alarming
administration independent of the SNMP administration activity. |
