Procedure
Issue 2.1 June 2006 1183
Configuring the SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch (if
used)
Note:
Note: These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied Avaya Ethernet
switch. Do not use these procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided
Ethernet switch.
Note:
Note: The specific Avaya Ethernet switch model and firmware load shipped with a
communication system may change over time. Therefore, this document is not
specific on how to configure the SNMP subagent. Refer to the documentation
that comes with the switch.
Note:
Note: If the control network is non-dedicated (going over the customer's network), you
must make sure that the 162/udp port for input to server is enabled (the default is
disabled). Otherwise, the traps from the UPS(s) cannot be received. See
Enabling firewall settings, if necessary
on page 1185.
The simple network management protocol (SNMP) subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch must
be administered so it can report alarms to the media server when the hardware experiences
problems.
Each Avaya Ethernet switch requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided
one or the Avaya-provided default one. At a minimum, the following items need to be
configured:
● IP address (1 for each Ethernet switch)
● Subnet mask
● Trap receiver IP address
● Community string (get, set, trap)
- Spanning tree version
- Ethernet port speed (if applicable)
Note:
Note: For the Ethernet switch to properly report alarms, the IP address(es) for the
Ethernet switch(es) must also be configured in the media servers.
See the Basic Configuration section of the Quick Start Guide and the documentation CD that
comes with the Ethernet switch for the default user ID, password, and configuration commands.
