Other Network Considerations

SNMP

The 9600 Series IP Telephones are fully compatible with SNMPv2c and with Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2). The telephones respond correctly to queries from entities that comply with earlier versions of SNMP, such as SNMPv1. “Fully compatible” means that the telephones respond to queries directed either at the MIB-II or the read-only Custom MIB. Read-only means that the values therein cannot be changed externally by means of network management tools.

You can restrict which IP Addresses the telephone accepts SNMP queries from. You can also customize your community string with system values SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING, respectively. Release 1.5 supports the functionality introduced on Avaya Communication Manager Release 4.0 that allows call server administration of the SNMP community string and SNMP Source IP Addresses. For more information, see Chapter 5: Server Administration and Table 9:  9600 Series IP Telephone Customizable System Parameters.

NOTE: As of Release 1.1, SNMP is disabled by default. Administrators must initiate SNMP by setting the SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING system values appropriately.

For more information about SNMP and MIBs, see the IETF reference listed in
Appendix B: Related Documentation. The Avaya Custom MIB for the 9600 Series IP Telephones is available for download in *.txt format on the Avaya support Web site at
