Chapter 2: SNMP configuration

Administering the SNMP modules

Note:
Use the default IP addresses.
Note:
1. Connect the RS-232 serial port of your Services laptop computer to the DB-9 connector on
the back of the SNMP module for UPS1 using the DB-9 to DB-9 serial cable that is
supplied with the SNMP module.
2. Open a VT-100 terminal emulation session on your computer.
3. Set the IP address for the UPS.
4. Set the subnet mask for the UPS.
5. Set the gateway address for the UPS.
6. Set the IP address of the trap receiver for the UPS.
7. Set the SNMP community name string for Get, Set, and Trap. For information on which
traps to set, see
8. When finished, disconnect your computer from the UPS.
9. Connect one end of a CAT5 straight-through cable to the RJ45 connector on the UPS1
SNMP module and the other end of the cable to the next available port on the Ethernet
switch for Control Network A (CNA).
For a connectivity guide, see the Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700
Series Server (555-245-703).
10. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the SNMP module in UPS2.
11. For UPS2, connect one end of a CAT5 straight-through cable to the RJ45 connector on the
UPS2 SNMP module. Connect the other end of the cable to the next available port on the
Ethernet switch for Control Network B (CNB).
For a connectivity guide, see the Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8700
Series Server (555-245-703).
After you configure the SNMP module in the UPS, you must configure the SNMP subagent on
the Avaya Ethernet switch.

Setting selected traps (alarming)

The default is to set all traps, which can result in large log entries. To avoid this problem, Avaya
recommends that you set only the following traps:
UPS on Battery—Indicates an AC power failure. Based on the level of battery reserve, a
shutdown is pending.
UPS in Bypass—The UPS failed or is overloaded.
Replace battery—The battery failed the 28-day battery test and must be replaced.
