Configuring The Snmp Modules In The Ups - Avaya S8500 Installing And Configuring

Configuring the SNMP modules in the UPS

Note:
These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied uninterruptible power
Note:
supply (UPS) with a simple network management protocol (SNMP) module. Do
not use these procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided UPS.
Note:
Because the SNMP module is manufactured by a third party, we do not know
Note:
which brand, model, or firmware load the factory is shipping. Therefore, we
cannot provide specific instructions in this document on how to connect to and
configure the SNMP module. Refer to the documentation that comes with the
SNMP module.
Note:
If the control network is non-dedicated (going over the customer's network), you
Note:
must make sure that the 162/udp port for input to server is enabled (the default is
disabled). Otherwise, the traps from the UPS(s) cannot be received. See
Enabling firewall settings
Make sure the CAT5 straight-through cables are connected from the UPSs' SNMP modules to
the next available port on the customer's network. For a connectivity guide, see Quick Start
Hardware Installation: Avaya S8500 Media Server (555-245-701). Make sure you are plugged
into the correct port on the SNMP module.
The SNMP module in the UPS must be administered so it reports alarms to the media server
when the hardware experiences problems. The module reports the loss of commercial power
and the depletion of battery resources.
The SNMP module requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided one or the
Avaya-provided default one. At a minimum, the following items need to be configured:
IP address
●
Default gateway IP address
●
Subnet mask
●
Community name strings (get, set, trap)
●
Note:
For the SNMP module to properly report alarms, the IP address for the UPS must
Note:
also be configured in the media server.
See Setting selected traps (alarming)
See the local configuration section of the User's Guide that comes with the SNMP module for
the default password and the configuration commands.
