AudioCodes Mediant 8000 - 24 SNMP Management Interface; 24.1 Configuring Connectivity between the Media Gateway and the EMS Server

Version 6.6 171 October 2014
Installation & Operation Manual 24. SNMP Management Interface
24 SNMP Management Interface
The Media Gateway supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as a
main management interface. SNMP is used by the EMS server to perform
configuration, alarms collection and performance monitoring tasks. It may also be
used by 3
rd
party standard-compliant SNMP managers to perform alarms collection
and performance monitoring tasks.
The Media Gateway supports the following versions of the SNMP protocol:

SNMPv2c – compliant with RFC 1901 – RFC 1908; uses UDP transport and
simple community-based security scheme

SNMPv3 – compliant with RFC 3411 – RFC 3418; uses enhanced User Security
Model (USM) and supports message integrity, authentication and encryption.
The Media Gateway also supports encryption of the SNMPv2c traffic via the
IPSEC/IKE security protocols. IPSEC/IKE encryption may be enforced for all SNMP
managers, or, alternatively, configured for specific SNMP managers only.
24.1 Configuring Connectivity between the Media
Gateway and the EMS Server
After initial Media Gateway software installation or when parameters of the EMS
Server or of the SNMP management protocol are modified, use the following
procedure to configure connectivity between the Media Gateway and the EMS Server.
The new configuration is applied immediately without any disruption to the Media
Gateway service.
 To configure connectivity between Media Gateway and EMS Server:
1. Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board. For more information, see
Section 'Connecting to the CLI via the IP Network' on page 111.
2. Log in as a CLI user with administrative privileges (e.g. acladmin). For more
