The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), a current working
standard of the TCP/IP protocol suite, is used to transfer network
management information among various elements of a network, regardless
of their underlying architecture.
SNMP can be used with Modular Messaging to perform the following
tasks:
- A network management station (NMS) can perform queries of system
status information from Modular Messaging. SNMP is read-only in
the Modular Messaging system, meaning that an NMS can query a
Modular Messaging system for information, but cannot change that
information.
- Modular Messaging can send alarm and resolution event notifications
to specified Network Management Stations (NMS). See SNMP
alarm notification overview for more information.
Modular Messaging can communicate with one or more administered
NMS asynchronously for alarm notification. See Administering
SNMP for more information on the steps you must complete to
administer SNMP queries on the Modular Messaging system.
SNMP information is organized in a hierarchical tree. A Management
Information Base (MIB) defines the structure of information in the
hierarchical tree. Modular Messaging supports the standard Management
Information Base (MIB-II) definition, as well as private Avaya MIBs
that support SNMP alarm notification. See Simple
Network Management Protocol MIBs for information on the MIBs
used by Modular Messaging for SNMP.
Modular Messaging supports SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. Any monitoring
software that is SNMPv1, SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 compliant, including
Avaya AIM software, can communicate with Modular Messaging.
