Configuring The Snmp Modules In The Uninterruptible Power Supplies - Avaya S8700 Installation Instructions Manual

Configuring the SNMP modules in the uninterruptible
power supplies
The SNMP module in the UPS must be administered so it can report alarms to the appropriate media
server when the hardware experiences problems. The module reports the loss of commercial power
and/or the depletion of battery resources.
Each UPS's 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 (1 for each UPS)
•
Default gateway IP address (1 only)
•
Subnet mask
•
Community name strings (get, set, trap)
!
It is critical that each UPS report SNMP traps to the media server it is powering. For example,
media server 1 should be plugged into UPS 1, and UPS 1 must be configured to report SNMP traps
to the media server 1 actual IP address (not the Active Server address). The same required
relationship holds true for media server 2 and UPS 2. This is important because if the UPS detects
loss of commercial power and/or depletion of battery resources, it will send a trap to allow the
media server to gracefully shut down. If the UPS sends the trap to the wrong server trap receiver
address, that server will shut down while the server that is plugged into the UPS will fail due to
loss of power.
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.

Configuring the SNMP modules in the uninterruptible power supplies

NOTE:
These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) with an simple network management protocol (SNMP) module. Do not use these
procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided UPS.
NOTE:
For the SNMP modules to properly report alarms, the IP addresses for the UPSs must also
be configured in the media servers.
WARNING:
on page 50 for information on which traps to set.
NOTE:
Because the SNMP module is manufactured by a third party, we do not know which
brand, model, or firmware load the factory is shipping. Therefore, we cannot provide
specific instructions in this document on how to configure the SNMP module.
