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 Table 8: 1600 Series IP Telephone Customizable System Parameters.

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 http://www.avaya.com/support.
