Quick Steps for Setting Up Trap Filters

You can filter traps by limiting user access to trap command families. You can also filter according to individual traps.

Filtering by Trap Families

The following example will create a new user account. This account will be granted read-only privileges to three CLI command families (snmp, chassis, and interface). Read-only privileges will be withheld from all other command families.

1Set up a user account named “usermark2” by executing the user CLI command.

-> user usermark2 password ******

2Remove all read-only privileges from the user account.

-> user usermark2 read-only none

3Add read-only privileges for the snmp, chassis and interface command families.

-> user usermark2 read-only snmp chassis interface

Note. Optional. To verify the user account, enter the show user command. A partial display is shown here:

-> show user

 

 

User name = usermark2

 

Read right

=

0x0000a200 0x00000000,

Write right

=

0x00000000 0x00000000,

Read for domains

=

,

Read for families

=

snmp chassis interface ,

Write for domains

=

None ,

Snmp authentication =

NONE, Snmp encryption = NONE

The usermark2 account has read-only privileges for the snmp, chassis, and interface command families.

4Set up an SNMP station with the user account “usermark2” defined above.

-> snmp station 210.1.2.1 usermark2 v3 enable

Note. Optional.To verify the SNMP Management Station, enter the show snmp station command. The display is similar to the one shown here:

-> show snmp station

The usermark2 account is established on the SNMP station at IP address 210.1.2.1.

Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions offers the OmniSwitch series, renowned for its robust capabilities in delivering high-performance networking solutions tailored for a variety of enterprise and service provider environments. The OmniSwitch series is particularly recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and the depth of its feature set, making it a popular choice for organizations that demand reliable and efficient networking solutions.

One of the standout features of the OmniSwitch series is its advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, providing organizations with essential support for IP routing and robust Ethernet networking. This versatility ensures that the switch can seamlessly integrate into existing network architectures, facilitating smooth upgrade paths in response to evolving business needs. The OmniSwitch includes support for multiple protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex networking topologies.

In terms of performance, OmniSwitch devices are engineered to handle high bandwidth demands. With features such as hardware-based forwarding, they ensure low latency and minimal packet loss, which are critical for applications sensitive to delays such as VoIP and video conferencing. Furthermore, they support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing users to power devices like IP phones and security cameras directly through the network.

Security is another key characteristic of the OmniSwitch series. It includes advanced security features such as robust access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in support for IEEE 802.1X authentication. These features collectively enhance the security posture of the network, protecting sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network resources.

The OmniSwitch is also designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. Features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensure that network uptime is maximized and that failover is swift in the event of a hardware failure. This makes it a viable option for organizations that cannot afford downtime.

In addition to these features, Alcatel's OmniSwitch series comes equipped with a user-friendly management interface. This interface simplifies the setup, configuration, and monitoring of the network, making it accessible even to those with limited networking expertise. Through intuitive dashboards and support for SNMP, administrators can manage their networks effectively.

In conclusion, Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions' OmniSwitch series offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the needs of modern networks. With its blend of performance, scalability, security, and ease of management, the OmniSwitch stands out as a preferred choice for businesses seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure.
