used)
NOTE:
These instruction apply only if using a new Avaya-supplied Avaya Ethernet switch.
The SNMP subagent in the Ethernet switch must be administered so it can report alarms to the
appropriate media server when the hardware experiences problems. Refer to the filled-out Job
Aid entitled Pre-Installation Network Planning Form—S8700 Media Server for the proper
addresses and community strings. At a minimum, the following items need to be configured:
IP address (1 for each equipped Ethernet switch)
•
• Subnet mask
Trap receiver IP address
•
Community string (get, set, trap)
•
Refer to the configuration section of the user guide that comes with the Ethernet switch for the
default user ID, password and configuration commands. Use the following general procedures
to administer the Ethernet switch(es):
1 Plug the Ethernet switch into a UPS.
Duplex reliability—Ethernet switch 1 and 2 (if equipped) for Control Network A
•
(CNA) into UPS 1
2 Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the port labeled Console on
the front of the first Ethernet switch (CNA) using the cable supplied with the Ethernet
switch.
Open a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal).

4 Administer the terminal emulation port settings:
9600 bps rate
•
No parity
•
• 8 bits
1 stop bit
•
5 Log into the Ethernet switch with the appropriate login and password. Refer to the user
guide supplied with the Ethernet switch.
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) of the Ethernet switch, set the following
6
parameters:
IP address and subnet mask of the Ethernet switch
•
• IP address of the Trap Receiver. For Ethernet switches in CNA this should be the
IP address of Server 1. For Ethernet switches in CNB this should be the IP address
of Server 2. Do not use the 'Active Server' IP address.
• SNMP community string for Get, Set, and Trap.
