User's Manual 10. SNMP-Based Management
Version 6.8 91 Mediant 500L MSBR
10 SNMP-Based Management
The device provides an embedded SNMP Agent that allows it to be managed by
AudioCodes Element Management System (EMS) or a third-party SNMP Manager (e.g.,
element management system). The SNMP Agent supports standard Management
Information Base (MIBs) and proprietary MIBs, enabling a deeper probe into the
interworking of the device. The SNMP Agent can also send unsolicited events (SNMP
traps) towards the SNMP Manager. All supported MIB files are supplied to customers as
part of the release.
AudioCodes EMS is an advanced solution for standards-based management that covers all
areas vital for the efficient operation, administration, management and provisioning
(OAM&P) of the device. The standards-compliant EMS uses distributed SNMP-based
management software, optimized to support day-to-day Network Operation Center (NOC)
activities, offering a feature-rich management framework. It supports fault management,
configuration and security.
This section provides configuration relating to SNMP management.
Notes:
• SNMP-based management is enabled by default. For disabling it, see ''Enabling
SNMP and Configuring SNMP Community Strings'' on page 91.
• For more information on the device's SNMP support (e.g., SNMP traps), refer to
the SNMP User's Guide.
• EMS support is available only if the device is installed with a Software License Key
that includes this feature. For installing a Software License Key, see ''Software
License Key'' on page 638.
• For more information on using the EMS tool, refer to the EMS User's Manual and
EMS Server IOM Manual.
10.1 Enabling SNMP and Configuring SNMP Community
Strings
The SNMP Community String page lets you configure up to five read-only and up to five
read-write SNMP community strings and to configure the community string that is used for
sending traps.
Notes:
• SNMP community strings are used only for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c; SNMPv3
uses username-password authentication along with an encryption key (see
''Configuring SNMP V3 Users'' on page 96).
• You can assign data-router Access Control List rules (ACL) to SNMP community
strings. By associating an ACL rule with an SNMP community string, the source
and/or destination address of the packet, received from the management station
and in which the community string is received, can be specified. This adds
enhanced security by reducing the likelihood of malicious attacks on the device if
the community string is discovered by an attacker. To assign an ACL rule, use the
following CLI command:
(config-system)# snmp
<snmp># snmp-acl community-string <Community string> rw|ro <ACL rule string
name>
For detailed descriptions of the SNMP parameters, see ''SNMP Parameters'' on page 784.
