SNMP

The 1600 Series IP Telephones are fully compatible with SNMPv2c and with Structure of
Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2). The telephones respond correctly to queries from
entities that comply with earlier versions of SNMP, such as SNMPv1. “Fully compatible” means
that the telephones respond to queries directed either at the MIB-II or the read-only Custom
MIB. Read-only means that the values therein cannot be changed externally by means of
network management tools.
You can use the system value SNMPADD to restrict the IP addresses from which the telephone
accepts SNMP queries. You can also customize your community string with the system value
SNMPSTRING. For more information, see Chapter 5:Server Administration and Ta ble 8: 1600
Series IP Telephone Customizable System Parameters.
Note:
Note: As of Release 1.0, SNMP is disabled by default. Administrators must initiate
SNMP by setting the SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING system values
appropriately.
For more information about SNMP and MIBs, see the IETF references listed in
Appendix B: Related Documentation. The Avaya Custom MIB for the 1600 Series IP
Telephones is available for download in *.txt format on the Avaya support Web site at
