Avaya S8700 manual Snmp configuration, Configuring the Snmp modules in the UPS

Configuring the SNMP modules in the UPS

Chapter 2: SNMP configuration

After you install and connect the control network equipment, you must configure the SNMP modules in each Avaya-supplied UPS to send alarms or traps to the servers. This process requires that you also configure the SNMP subagent in the Avaya-supplied Ethernet switch.

! Important:

Use the procedures in this section to configure Avaya-supplied equipment only.

Configuring the SNMP modules in the UPS

! 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 configure the SNMP module in the UPS to report alarms to the server when hardware problems occur. The module reports an alarm if commercial power is lost or battery resources are depleted.

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 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)

A third party manufactures the SNMP module. The brand, the model, or the firmware load of the module 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 module. For more information, see the documentation that comes with the SNMP module. For the default password and the configuration commands, see the local configuration section of that user guide.
