Avaya S8700 manual Default IP addresses for the Ethernet switch

Configuring the SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch (if used)

For the menus and commands to set these traps, see the user guide that comes with the SNMP module.

Configuring the SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch (if used)

! Important:

These procedures apply only to a new, Avaya-supplied uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) module. Do not use these procedures to set traps on a UPS that Avaya does not supply.

You must administer the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch to report alarms to the server when problems occur.

For the SNMP module to properly report alarms, you must configure a unique IP address for the UPS on both the SNMP module and the server. This IP address can be a customer-provided address or the Avaya-provided default address. At a minimum, you must configure the following items:

●The IP address

●The subnet mask

●The gateway IP address

●The trap receiver IP address

●The community string (get, set, trap)

The brand, the model, or the firmware load of the Ethernet switch that Avaya supplies can change without notice. For this reason, this document does not provide specific instructions on how to connect to and configure the SNMP subagent. For more information, see the documentation that comes with the Ethernet switch. Also see the Basic Configuration section of the Quick Start Guide and the documentation CD-ROM that comes with the Ethernet switch for the default user ID, password, and configuration commands.

Note:

For the Ethernet switch to report alarms properly, you must also configure the IP addresses for the Ethernet switches in the servers.

Default IP addresses for the Ethernet switch

For how to administer the SNMP subagent in the Ethernet switches see Configuring the Ethernet switch on page 29. If the control network is duplicated, perform the same steps for both Ethernet switches.
