2.1.8
SNMP Capabilities.
SNMP provides an industry-standard protocol used by a number of Network Management products,
such as HP Openview, to manage devices and services on the network. SNMP provides a standard way
for management products to monitor network devices and services. The Alcatel-Lucent Management
Information Base (MIB) is SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 compliant. Alcatel-Lucent Technologies
provides SNMP support to our Lucent DNS and Lucent DHCP servers as well as appliances, enabling the
collection and monitoring of statistics and general operational information through the use of SNMP
MIB variables. This is available for both the server based architecture and is packaged with the
appliance solution. The Lucent DNS and DHCP servers can write information by using these MIB
variables. The variables offered by Alcatel-Lucent have been designed to be used in conjunction with
the Internet MIB, to allow monitoring of Lucent DHCP and DNS name services via SNMP by the Internet
community.
The AMS appliance provides the Nagios server which appliance customers can use the web based GUI
to monitor all aspects of VitalQIP and the appliance management system. Nagios also allows the
ability to remotely monitor VitalQIP from and Ipad or an Ipod touch with wireless support.
Alcatel-Lucent has modified the Lucent DHCP server on all supported platforms to optionally support
SNMP. The statistical information gathered by the DHCP server through normal operations can be
written to the Alcatel-Lucent MIB variables. Alcatel-Lucent has implemented portions of the Lucent
DHCP MIB objects defined by the DHCP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in
a proposed draft. In particular, there is support for Bootp and DHCP counter and statistics groups.
Alcatel-Lucent has also provided extensions to the supported DNS MIB definitions. These MIBs are
used to count statistics that are not covered in the DNS MIB defined by RFC1611.
2.1.9
Reporting Capability
Within the next generation platform, VitalQIP has incorporated a new reporting packaged called
Jasper reports. It provides great flexibility and allows you to obtain management and operational
reports containing concise and pertinent information for certain aspects of the database. Reports can
be generated to the screen, to a printer, to a file, or emailed to an end-user or administrator. The
information can be sorted as required. Jasper Reports and Database schema information is also
available should customers wish to customize reports with an SQL report writer.
IN the VitalQIP 7.3 application reports can be obtained from the new Web GUI or the Thick Client. The
Web GUI contains a subset of reports as follows:
Address Allocator Reports – Pool and Block Audit and Usage Reports.
