The following procedure is specific to the Powerware 9125 equipped with a ConnectUPS SNMP Module. If a different UPS is used, refer to its accompanying documentation to set the IP Address/Subnet mask, trap receiver IP address, and community strings.
The SNMP module in the UPS must be administered so it can report alarm conditions to the appropriate media server when the hardware experiences problems. The module reports the loss of commercial power and/or the depletion of battery resources.
WARNING: It is critical that each UPS report SNMP traps to the server it is powering. For example, server 1 should be plugged into UPS 1 and UPS 1 must be configured to report SNMP traps to the server 1 IP address (not the 'Active Server' address). The same required relationship holds true for server 2 and UPS 2. This is important because if the UPS detects loss of commercial power and/or depletion of battery resources it will send a trap to allow the server to gracefully shutdown. If the UPS sends the trap to the wrong server trap receiver address, that server will shutdown while the server that is plugged into the UPS will fail due to loss of power.
Each UPS requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided one or the Avaya-provided default one. Refer to the filled-out Job Aid entitled Pre-Installation Network Planning Form--S8700 Media Server:
NOTE: For the UPS to properly report alarm conditions, the IP addresses for the UPS must be configured in the S8700 Media Servers.
The Get and Set, community name strings are generally configured with default values of Public and Private, respectively. These community name strings function as passwords for their respective SNMP operation. It is always a good idea to change these community name strings to something other than the default values. If a Network Management Station is in operation on the network, whatever these values are changed to must be coordinated with its administrator. If the defaults are left administered this could create a serious security issue. For example, the default Set community name string, with it's widely known value of Private, could be used to shutdown power to the UPS loads via SNMP message.
Refer to the configuration section of the user guide that comes with the SNMP module for the default user ID and password and the administration commands. Use the following general procedures to administer the SNMP modules:
NOTE: These steps are specifically for the Powerware 9125 UPS equipped with a ConnectUPSTM MX SNMP module. These steps use the default addresses and subnet masks for the S8700 Media Server for Multi-Connect Configuration. If other addresses are to be used they must be substituted when performing these steps. Refer to the filled-out Job Aid entitled Pre-Installation Network Planning Forms -- S8700 Media Server for the proper data.
NOTE: Avaya Terminal Emulation and HyperTerminal are supported terminal emulation programs. Terranova is not supported.
NOTE: If a Network Management System (NMS) is going to monitor the UPS units, coordinate the assignment of community names with the LAN administrator (refer to the filled out Job Aid entitled Pre-Installation Network Planning Forms -- S8700 Media Server). If an NMS is not going to monitor the UPSs, set the community names to unique string values.
NOTE: The Host Table should be empty. If not, in the following commands use a host table entry that is currently unassigned.
For duplex reliability configurations use the following address and cable connection information:
NOTE: For duplex reliability configurations there are two servers and two UPS units. However, there is only one control network. The following entries provide addresses on CNA for UPS 2.
