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

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

NOTE:

These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied Avaya Ethernet switch. Do not use these procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided Ethernet switch.

NOTE:

We do not know which Avaya Ethernet switch model or firmware load the factory is shipping. Therefore, we cannot provide specific instructions in this document on how to configure the SNMP subagent. Refer to the documentation that comes with the switch.

The simple network management protocol (SNMP) subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch must be administered so it can report alarms to the media server when the hardware experiences problems.

Each Avaya Ethernet switch requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided one or the Avaya-provided default one. At a minimum, the following items need to be configured:

•IP address (1 for each Ethernet switch)

•Subnet mask

•Trap receiver IP address

•Community string (get, set, trap)

—Spanning tree

—Ethernet port speed (if applicable)

NOTE:

For the Ethernet switch to properly report alarms, the IP address(es) for the Ethernet switch(es) must also be configured in the media servers.

See the Basic Configuration section of the Quick Start Guide and the documentation CD that comes with the Ethernet switch for the default user ID, password, and configuration commands.

To administer the Ethernet switch(es):

1Plug the Ethernet switch power cord into the back of the switch and the back of a UPS.

•For a single control network—connect Ethernet switch 1 for Control Network A (CNA) into UPS 1.

•For a duplicated control network—connect Ethernet switch 1 for CNA into UPS 1 and connect Ethernet switch 2 for Control Network B (CNB) into UPS 2.

2Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the port labeled Console on the front of Ethernet switch 1 (CNA) using the flat cable supplied with the Avaya Ethernet switch.

3On the services laptop open a VT-100 terminal emulation session.
