Appendix

The SNMP Agent

There is one SNMP agent on each Nortel VPN Gateway (NVG), and the agent listens to the IP address of that particular device. On the VPN Gateway that currently holds the cluster’s Management IP address (MIP), the SNMP agent also listens to the MIP.

The SNMP agent supports SNMP version 1, version 2c and version 3. Notification targets (the SNMP managers receiving trap messages sent by the agent) can be configured to use either SNMP v1, v2c and v3 (with the default being SNMP v2c). Users may specify any number of notification targets on the VPN Gateway.

For more information about the commands used to configure the SNMP agent in a cluster, see the "SNMP Management Configuration " section under Configuration Menu>System Configuration in the Command Reference.

For detailed information about the MIB (Management Information Base) definitions that are currently implemented for the SNMP agent, do one of the following:

Go to http://www.nortel.com/. Under Support & Training, select Software Downloads>VPN Gateway>VPN Gateway 3050/3070>Software

Connect to the Browser-Based Management Interface (BBI) In the System tree view, expand Administration and SNMP. Finally select the MIBs form.

The file ALTEON-SSL-CAP.mib contains an AGENT-CAPABILITIES statement, which formally specifies which MIBs are implemented.
