Other Network Considerations; Enabling Snmp - Avaya 9608 Administrator's Manual

Network Requirements
The 9600 Series IP deskphones support specifying a list of IP addresses for a gateway/router,
HTTP or HTTPS server, and Avaya call servers. Each list can contain up to 255 total ASCII
characters, with IP addresses separated by commas with no intervening spaces. Depending on the
specific DHCP server, the phone might support only 127 characters.
When you specify IP addresses for the file server or call server, use either dotted decimal format
("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") or DNS names for IPv4 addresses. If you use DNS, the value of the DOMAIN
parameter is appended to the DNS names that you specify. If DOMAIN is null, you must use DNS
names that are fully qualified. For more information about DNS, see
page 53 and DNS addressing
Required network information before installation for each DHCP server
• Gateway router IP addresses
• If the HTTP or the HTTPS file server IP addresses, port number, are different from the default,
and the directory path if files are not located in the root directory
• Subnetwork mask
• Avaya call server IP address or addresses
• Phone IP address range
• DNS server address or addresses if applicable
As the LAN or System Administrator, you must also:
• Administer the DHCP server. See
• Edit the configuration file on the applicable HTTP or HTTPS file server. See
application file and upgrade script file

Other network considerations

Enabling SNMP

The 9600 Series IP deskphones support SNMPv2c and Structure of Management Information
Version 2 (SMIv2). The phones also respond correctly to queries from entities that comply with
earlier versions of SNMP, such as SNMPv1. The phones respond to queries directed either at the
MIB-II or the read-only Custom MIB. Read-only means that you cannot change the values externally
with network management tools. H.323 Release 6.4 onwards, SNMP can be used to query the
hardware revisions on the phone.
You can restrict the IP addresses from which the phones accepts SNMP queries using the
SNMPADD parameter. You can also customize your community string with the SNMPSTRING
parameter.
9600 Series IP deskphones support the functionality introduced with Communication Manager
Release 4.0 that is, call server administration of SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING. For more
information, see Server Administration
parameters on page 68.
