Configuring The Snmp Subagent In The Avaya Ethernet Switch (If Used) - Avaya S8710 Installing And Configuring

Configuring the SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet
switch (if used)
The simple network management protocol (SNMP) subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch must be
administered so it can report alarms to the media server when the hardware experiences problems.
Each Avaya Ethernet switch 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 Ethernet switch)
•
Subnet mask
•
Trap receiver IP address
•
Community string (get, set, trap)
— Spanning tree
— Ethernet port speed (if applicable)
See the Basic Configuration section of the Quick Start Guide and the documentation CD that comes with
the Ethernet switch for the default user ID, password, and configuration commands.
To administer the Ethernet switch(es):
1
Plug the Ethernet switch power cord into the back of the switch and the back of a UPS.
•
•
2
Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the port labeled Console on the front
of Ethernet switch 1 (CNA) using the flat cable supplied with the Avaya Ethernet switch.
3
On the services laptop open a VT-100 terminal emulation session.

Configuring the SNMP subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch (if used)

NOTE:
These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied Avaya Ethernet switch. Do
not use these procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided Ethernet switch.
NOTE:
We do not know which Avaya Ethernet switch model or firmware load the factory is
shipping. Therefore, we cannot provide specific instructions in this document on how to
configure the SNMP subagent. Refer to the documentation that comes with the switch.
NOTE:
For the Ethernet switch to properly report alarms, the IP address(es) for the Ethernet
switch(es) must also be configured in the media servers.
For a single control network—connect Ethernet switch 1 for Control Network A (CNA)
into UPS 1.
For a duplicated control network—connect Ethernet switch 1 for CNA into UPS 1 and
connect Ethernet switch 2 for Control Network B (CNB) into UPS 2.
