C ONFIGURING SNMP
SNMP Background Information
IP A DDRESS
The IP address assigned to the management station that should receive Trap PDUs.
C OMMUNITY N AME
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.
A UTHENTICATION F AILURE T RAPS S TATUS
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-C HANNEL U SAGE T RAPS S TATUS
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-C HANNEL U SAGE T RAP T HRESHOLD
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.
SYS C ONTACT
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.
SYS N AME
The assigned name for this managed node. sysName is a string of 1 to 80 characters.
SYS L OCATION
The physical location of this node (for example: telephone closet, third floor). sysLocation is a string
of 1 to 80 characters.
SNMP B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION
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.
