Chapter 2: SNMP configuration
After you install and connect the control network equipment, you must configure the SNMP
modules in each Avaya-supplied UPS to send alarms or traps to the servers. This process
requires that you also configure the SNMP subagent in the Avaya-supplied Ethernet switch.

Important:
These procedures apply only to a new, Avaya-supplied uninterruptible power
Important:
supply (UPS) with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) module. Do
not use these procedures to set traps on a UPS that Avaya does not supply. For
non Avaya supplied UPS hardware, see manuals supplied with the UPS for
instructions on how to configure those UPS devices.
You must configure the SNMP module in the UPS to report alarms to the server when hardware
problems occur. The module reports an alarm if commercial power is lost or battery resources
are depleted.
For the SNMP module to properly report alarms, you must configure a unique IP address for the
UPS on both the SNMP module and the server. This IP address can be a customer-provided
address or the Avaya-provided default address. At a minimum, you must configure the following
items:
The IP address
l
The subnet mask
l
The gateway IP address
l
The trap receiver IP address
l
The community string (get, set, trap)
l
The brand, the model, or the firmware load of the SNMP module that Avaya supplies can
change without notice because a third-party manufactures the SNMP module. For this reason,
this document does not provide specific instructions on how to connect to and configure the
SNMP module. For more information, see the documentation that comes with the SNMP
module. For the default password and the configuration commands, see the local configuration
section of that user guide.
