Chapter 4 Configuring Cisco Access Registrar 4.2

Configuring SNMP

After you save and reload the CAR server configuration, the CAR server writes accounting messages to the accounting.log file in the /opt/CSCOar/logs directory. The CAR server stores information in the accounting.log file until a rollover event occurs. A rollover event is caused by the accounting.log file exceeding a pre-set size, a period of time transpiring, or on a scheduled date.

When the rollover event occurs, the data in accounting.log is stored in a file named by the prefix accounting, a date stamp (yyyymmdd), and the number of rollovers for that day. For example, accounting-20081107-14would be the 14th rollover on November 07, 2008.

The following shows the properties for a service called CiscoAccounting:

[ //localhost/Radius/Services/local-file ] Name = local-file

Description = Type = file IncomingScript~ = OutgoingScript~ = OutagePolicy~ = RejectAll OutageScript~ = FilenamePrefix = accounting MaxFileSize = "10 Megabytes" MaxFileAge = "1 Day" RolloverSchedule = UseLocalTimeZone = FALSE

Configuring SNMP

Before you can perform SNMP configuration, you must first stop the SNMP master agent, then configure your local snmpd.conf file. The snmpd.conf file is the configuration file which defines how the CAR server’s SNMP agent operates. The snmpd.conf file might contain any of the directives found in the DIRECTIVES section.

Enabling SNMP in the Cisco Access Registrar Server

To enable SNMP on the Cisco AR server, launch aregcmd and set the /Radius/Advanced/SNMP/Enabled property to TRUE.

aregcmd

cd /Radius/Advanced/SNMP

[ //localhost/Radius/Advanced/SNMP ] Enabled = FALSE TracingEnabled = FALSE InputQueueHighThreshold = 90 InputQueueLowThreshold = 60 MasterAgentEnabled = TRUE

set Enabled TRUE

Stopping the Master Agent

You stop the Cisco AR SNMP master agent by stopping the CAR server.
