Snmp Alarming On The G350 - Avaya G350 Maintenance Manual

You will have to enable the modem from the Web Interface. In addition, there is a Setup Modem
Interface under the Configure Server pages.

Via this modem, a client PC uses the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to access the Media Server
and connect via telnet to a Linux shell.
3
Once logged into the Media Server, you can telnet out to G350s and other devices on the network.
NOTE:
Additionally, this modem can be used to allow the Media Server to call out to the INADS
or other alarm receiving system to report alarms. When performing remote diagnostic
tests, Services personnel should disable alarm call-outs to INADS to avoid generating
unnecessary alarms. Alarm suppression is released after 30 minutes. If you are remotely
logged in through the modem you prevent alarms from being generated because you are
using the modem.
The VPN alternative is achieved via the use of the Intelligent Site Manager (ISM). The ISM is a VPN
gateway that resides on the customer's LAN and provides a means for services personnel to gain access
to the customer's LAN in a secure manner via the Internet. Telnet is then used to access the Media Server
and/or Media Gateways and other IP network equipment.

SNMP alarming on the G350

Setting up SNMP alarm reporting involves two main tasks:
•
Configuring the primary media server to report alarms
•
Configuring the G350 to send SNMPv3 alarms
Configuring the primary media server to
report alarms
The primary server may be either an S8300, S8500, or S8700 Media Server. The Media Server supports
two methods for reporting alarms. Either method, 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 Communication Manager Fault and Performance Manager, as a standalone
application, or integrated within Avaya MultiService™ Network Manager
— HP™ Openview
