Configuring iControl to Send Traps
Once an iControl GSM has been configured to act as an SNMP agent, all alarms in its database
can be polled by a third-party SNMP Manager. You can give special attention to individual
alarms (or combinations of alarms) by assigning SNMP traps. When these alarms change state,
they will send a trap, via the GSM, to the third-party SNMP Manager.
Assigning an SNMP Trap to One or More Alarms
To assign an SNMP trap to one or more alarms
1. In the GSM Alarm Browser, select the alarm(s) to which you would like to assign SNMP traps.
2. Right-click an alarm, and then click Properties.
The Alarm Properties window appears.
3. Click Add.
4. In the New action window, click SNMP trap sender, and then click New.
5. In the SNMP trap configuration window, specify an alarm transition that will trigger the
SNMP trap; select one or more alarm states in the left column (from), and then one or more
in the right column (to). For example, if you select from Minor, Major or Critical to Normal,
an SNMP trap will be sent whenever a yellow, orange or red alarm is cleared.
Next, specify a trap number (between 1 and 99999) that describes the trap event. Some
numbers are pre-defined in your Grass Valley MIB files. You can also define your own trap
numbers.
6. In the Destination address field, type the IP address of the SNMP Manager that is to receive
the trap. Choose v1 from the SNMP trap version menu, and then click OK.
In the Alarm properties window, an entry labelled SNMP trap sender appears (with an
associated SNMP Manager address) in the Actions list.
7. Click OK.
REQUIREMENT
Before beginning this procedure, make sure you have opened the GSM Alarm Browser
(see
"Opening the GSM Alarm Browser" , on page 577).
Note: You can assign the same trap to more than one alarm by making a multiple
selection (Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click).
Note: Values 1 to 99999 are reserved for user-defined virtual alarms and for third
party SNMP devices. Values of 100000 and up are iControl alarms.
Note: The SNMP OIDs specific to Grass Valley devices and to the iControl GSM agent
and traps are contained in MIB files (
GSM-MIB.mib and the MIRANDA-MIB.mib )
available from Grass Valley Technical Support (see "Contact Us" , on page 599).
