Set Up Snmp Alarming On The G700 - Avaya G700 Installation And Upgrades

personnel that the network connection between the S8700 and G700 has problems. If control passes
to the LSP, the LSP's license allows it to support the G700 endpoints for up to 10 days, within which
the network problems should be resolved.
The customer must pass control back to the S8700 manually, by selecting
from the S8300 web page (includes selecting the option to restart after shutdown), or a technician
must run reset system 4 from the Linux command line. When the system reboots, the G700 and
its endpoints reregister with the primary controller, in this case the S8700.

Set Up SNMP Alarming on the G700

Setting up SNMP alarm reporting involves two main tasks:
• Configuring the primary server to report alarms to a services support agency
• Configuring the G700 Media Gateway to send its traps to a network management system (NMS),
which can be the primary server (S8300/S8700).
The primary server may be either an S8300 Media Server or an S8700 Media Server. The server supports
two methods for reporting alarms. Either, both, or no alarm-reporting method may be used at a given site.
• OSS Method. The server's software applications and hardware devices under its control can
generate Operations Support System (OSS) alarms. These alarms are recorded in the server logs,
and may be reported to Avaya's Initialization and Administration System (INADS) or another
services support agency over the server's modem interface.
To activate OSS alarm notification: The server requires a USB connection to a modem that is
connected to an analog line. The modem must be configured using the Web Interface, in the Set
Modem Interface screen, and enabled to send and receive calls using the Enable/Disable Modem
screen. Configuration of the OSS alarming method can only be done using Linux shell commands.
• SNMP Method. SNMP traps may be sent in User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to a corporate network
management system (NMS) using the Configure Trap Destinations screen. The OSS and SNMP
alarm-notification methods operate independently of each other; either or both may be used.
Currently, the following NMSs are supported:
- Avaya Fault and Performance Manager, as a standalone application, or integrated within
- Avaya MultiService™ Network Manager
- HP Openview
To activate SNMP alarm notification: On the server Web Interface, use the Configure Trap
Destinations screen to set up SNMP destinations in the corporate NMS.
Add INADS phone numbers and Enable alarms to INADS
The following procedure using the primary server's Linux shell commands administers the dial-out
modem to send alarms in the OSS method. In this example, the primary server is an S8300, and the
services support agency is Avaya's Initialization and Administration System (INADS).
Perform this task after all Communication Manager administration is complete.
