Enabling Back-end Server Traps

Enabling Back-end

Back-end server traps can be enabled and disabled at the 3COM SNMP

Server Traps

Agent level.

 

Alarm notification requires two components: a device (the 3Com VCX

 

IP Telephony Server) to send traps and a device (an alarm server) to

 

receive them and alert the network manager. Traps are sent over the

 

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which runs on the

 

User Datagram Protocol / Internet Protocol (UDP/IP).

 

First, use Enterprise Management Suite to tell the 3Com VCX IP

 

Telephony Server where to send traps. Then use Enterprise

 

Management Suite to enable the traps. Finally, start the trap

 

generation.

Configuring Trap To configure a trap destination:

Destinations

1From the Explorer tab, select 3Com VCX IP Telephony Server to configure.

2From the Properties tab, select Trap Destinations.

3At the bottom of the right-hand pane, click Add. The Add Row to Table dialog box opens.

4Type the IP address and Community string for the trap destination.

5Click OK.

The Trap Destinations tab changes to show the new trap destination.

Enabling Back-endThe 3Com VCX IP Telephony Server can generate traps when the Server Traps authentication server changes state.

To enable back-end server traps:

1From the Explorer tab, click 3Com VCX IP Telephony Server to configure.

2Select the 3COM SNMP Agent element.

3From the Properties tab, select Trap Configurations. Figure 3 shows the location for all back-end server traps.
