Configure The Snmp Subagent In The Avaya Ethernet Switch (If Used) - Avaya S8700 Installing

Migrating to an Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with Avaya™ MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateway
Configure the SNMP Subagent in the
Avaya Ethernet Switch (if used)
NOTE:
These instruction apply only if using a new Avaya-supplied Avaya Ethernet switch.
The SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch must be administered so it can report alarms
to the appropriate media server when the hardware experiences problems.
Each Avaya Ethernet switch requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided
one or the Avaya-provided default one. Refer to the filled-out job aid titled Pre-Installation
Network Planning Forms—Avaya™ S8700 Media Server. At a minimum, the following items
need to be configured:
IP address (1 for each Ethernet switch)
•
• Subnet mask
Trap receiver IP address
•
Community string (get, set, trap)
•
NOTE:
For the Ethernet switch to properly report alarms, the IP address(es) for the Ethernet
switch(es) must also be configured in the S8700 Media Servers.
NOTE:
Because we do not know which Ethernet switch model or firmware load the factory is
shipping, we cannot provide specific instructions in this document on how to configure the
Avaya Ethernet switch.
Refer to the Basic Configuration section of the Quick Start Guide and the documentation CD
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 power cord into the back of the switch and the back of a UPS.
For Duplex reliability—connect Ethernet switch 1 for Control Network A (CNA)
•
into UPS 1
For High or critical reliability—connect Ethernet switch 1 for CNA into UPS 1
•
and connect Ethernet switch 2 for Control Network B (CNB) into UPS 2.
2 Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the port labeled Console on
the front of Ethernet switch 1 (CNA) using the flat cable supplied with the Avaya
Ethernet switch.
NOTE:
Avaya™ Terminal Emulation and HyperTerminal are supported terminal emulation
applications. Terranova is not supported.
