Avaya S8500 manual Setting selected traps alarming

Chapter 2: SNMP Configuration

Setting selected traps (alarming)

The default is to set all traps, which can result in large log entries. To avoid this problem, Avaya recommends that you set only the following traps:

●UPS on Battery—Indicates an AC power failure. Based on the level of battery reserve, a shutdown is pending.

●UPS in Bypass—The UPS failed or is overloaded.

●Replace battery—The battery failed the 28-day battery test and must be replaced.

For the menus and commands to set these traps, see the user guide that comes with the SNMP module.

Configuring the SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch (if used)

! Important:

These procedures apply only to a new, Avaya-supplied uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) module. Do not use these procedures to set traps on a UPS that Avaya does not supply.

You must administer the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch to report alarms to the media server when problems occur.

For the SNMP module to properly report alarms, you must configure a unique IP address for the UPS on both the SNMP module and the media server. This IP address can be a customer-provided address or the Avaya-provided default address. At a minimum, you must configure the following items:

●The IP address

●The subnet mask

●The gateway IP address

●The trap receiver IP address

●The community string (get, set, trap)

The brand, the model, or the firmware load of the Ethernet switch that Avaya supplies can change without notice. For this reason, this document does not provide specific instructions on how to connect to and configure the SNMP subagent. For more information, see the documentation that comes with the Ethernet switch. Also see the Basic Configuration section of the Quick Start Guide and the documentation CD-ROM that comes with the Ethernet switch for the default user ID, password, and configuration commands.
