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

4Administer the terminal emulation port settings:

9600 baud

No parity

8 data bits

1 stop bit

5Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide

6Set the following parameters:

IP address and subnet mask of the Ethernet switch(es)

For Ethernet switch for CNA, the defaults are 198.152.254.240, 255.255.0.0.

For Ethernet switch for CNB, the defaults are 198.152.255.240, 255.255.0.0.

IP address of the trap receiver. (Do not use the Active Server IP address.)

For Ethernet switch for CNA, this is the IP address of media server 1. (default is 198.152.254.200)

For Ethernet switch for CNB, this is the IP address of media server 2. (default is 198.152.255.200)

SNMP community string for Get, Set, and Trap. (See the section on SNMP commands on the documentation CD that comes with the Avaya Ethernet switch.)

!SECURITY ALERT:

The Get and Set, community name strings are generally configured with default values of Public and Private, respectively. These community name strings function as passwords for their respective SNMP operation. It is always a good idea to change these community name strings to something other than the default values. If a Network Management Station (NMS) is in operation on the network, whatever these strings are changed to must be communicated to the NMS administrator. If the defaults are left administered this could create a serious security issue. For example, the default Set community name string, with its widely known value of Private, could be used to reconfigure the Ethernet switch via SNMP message.

7Set spanning-tree to disabled (default is enabled)

Use the command set spanning disable.

8If IP Connect, make sure all appropriate ports on the Ethernet switch are locked to 100 speed using full duplex.

9When completed, disconnect the services laptop computer from the Ethernet switch.

10If two Ethernet switches are present for CNA, repeat steps 1 through 7 for the second switch.

11If a duplicated control network, repeat steps 1 through 9 for the remaining Ethernet switch(es).
