Configuring SNMP Support Resources
The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software includes a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
agent subsystem that provides an alarm management interface on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch. It
uses SNMP to report events, or traps (such as alarms), to your SNMP Manager and to provide access to
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Management Information Base (MIB).
Note SNMP MIB measurements are only valid on the active node. They are not replicated on the standby node.
The SNMP agent subsystem reports the following event categories to your SNMP Manager:
1. Communications
2. Quality of Service
3. Processing
4. Equipment
5. Environment
In a fault tolerant configuration, the SNMP agent subsystem runs on both the active and standby
machines.
Note If your system is running Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software Release 9.3(2) or later, go to the
“Migrating the SNMP Configuration to a More Secure Environment (for Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
Release 9.3(2) or Later)” section on page 4-14 for SNMP configuration procedures.
Note For a sample snmpd.cnf file, see the “Sample Configured snmpd.cnf File” section on page D-13.
Note Use the config-snmp utility to configure SNMP community names and trap destinations.
