SNMP Traps

11 SNMP Native Agent Software

Via the SNMP

The agent allows retrieval of DEFINITY status data, system time, trunk group information, board data, DS1 board data, ATM board data, port data, station data, and data modules. It provides retrieval of information regarding trunk outage data, lightly- used trunks, long and short trunk holding times, and trunk group performance measurements. In addition, it provides tables of the DEFINITY’s external devices, of the trunks in a trunk group, tables allowing access to the contents of the DEFINITY’s bulletin board, and tables of the DEFINITY’s signaling groups.

SNMP Traps

The DEFINITY ONE agent generates SNMP traps for DEFINITY alarms and restarts. As per requests by DEFINITY Proxy Agent customers, it also generates traps for resolved alarms. The same traps are generated for all alarms. SNMP traps are sent for eack new DEFINITY alarm, when DEFINITY alarms are resolved, and for DEFINITY restarts.

The agent will generate SNMP traps for INTUITY AUDIX alarms that are sent to the Global Alarm Monitor (GAM), and send SNMP traps for NT events that are sent to the GAM.

For INTUITY AUDIX alarm traps, the SNMP natice agent also implements the portions of the CornerStone MIB that apply to alarms. For DEFINITY data, DEFINITY ONE uses a new MIB, which is a modified subset of the DEFINITY Proxy Agent MIB.

DEFINITY ONE Co-Resident Modules

The SNMP agent uses the DEFINITY ONE co-resident modules as follows:

GAM

The SNMP agent will not send alarms to the GAM for INADS alarm reporting, but will receive alarm noifications from the GAM. The SNMP agent generates TCP/IP alarm notifications (traps) based on alarm notifications received from the GAM.

WatchDog

The SNMP agent is registered with the DEFINITY ONE WatchDog process. This allows it to start automatically when the operating system is booted. An administrator will also be able to start and stop the native agent manually. The SNMP native agent will not subscribe to the DEFINITY ONE WatchDog “heartbeat” (i.e. handshake) service.
