SNMP Background Information

IP ADDRESS

The IP address assigned to the management station that should receive Trap PDUs.

COMMUNITY NAME

A list of configured Community Names will be displayed. Select the Community Name that should be inserted in the Trap PDUs to be sent to the NMS with the corresponding IP address.

AUTHENTICATION FAILURE TRAPS STATUS

You may enable or disable the generation of SNMP Authentication Failure Traps. The snmpEnableAuthenTraps object of the MIB-2 SNMP group will be initialized to the enabled status that is configured here.

ISDN B-CHANNEL USAGE TRAPS STATUS

You may enable or disable the generation of ISDN B-Channel Usage Traps. You can use these generated traps to monitor the system’s ISDN B-channel usage. There are two distinct ISDN B- Channel Usage Traps. The isdnUsageHigh trap is generated when the configured B-channel threshold (refer to the threshold parameter described below) is met or exceeded. The isdnUsageNormal trap is generated when the number of B-channels in use drops back below the configured threshold value.

In addition, the isdn usage console command will display B-channel information to aid in monitoring the B-channel usage. Refer to the System Commands chapter’s ISDN Usage Related Commands section for information regarding this command. The generated B-Channel Usage Traps and information displayed by the isdn usage console command can help you to determine if additional lines and/or systems are necessary.

ISDN B-CHANNEL USAGE TRAP THRESHOLD

This configured value is used to trigger the ISDN B-Channel Usage Traps. The threshold value is a number between 1 and the total number of available B-channels.

SYSCONTACT

The textual identification of the contact person for this managed node, together with information on how to contact this person. sysContact is a string of 1 to 80 characters.

SYSNAME

The assigned name for this managed node. sysName is a string of 1 to 80 characters.

SYSLOCATION

The physical location of this node (for example: telephone closet, third floor). sysLocation is a string of 1 to 80 characters.

SNMP BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The SNMP Agent allows the system to be monitored from a local and/or a remote Network Management Station (NMS) via the Simple Network Management Protocol. The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and the Internet Protocol (IP) are used by the SNMP Agent to provide the transport datagram service needed to exchange SNMP messages. Thus only those systems that have enabled the IP routing operating mode can make use of SNMP.
