Getting Started with SNMP
This section provides a getting started for quickly setting up the device for management using
AudioCodes SNMP MIBs.
Basic SNMP Configuration Setup
This subsection provides a description of the required SNMP configuration when first accessing
the SNMP agent running on the device.
To access the device’s SNMP agent, there are a few parameters that can be configured if you
don't want to use default settings. The SNMP agent default settings include the following:
■
SNMP agent is enabled.
■
Port 161 in the agent is used for SNMP GET/SET commands.
■
No default trap managers are defined and therefore, the device does not send traps.
■
The trap destination port is 162.
■
The SNMP agent is accessible to all SNMP managers (i.e., no trusted managers).
■
SNMP protocol version is SNMPv2c with ‘public’ and ‘private’ as the read-only and read-
write community strings, respectively.
Configuring these SNMP attributes is described in the following subsections:
Configuring SNMP Port
To configure the agent’s SNMP port:
■
ini file:
SNMPPort = <x>
; where ‘x’ is the port number
■
CLI:
(config-system)# snmp settings
(snmp)# port
Configuring Trap Managers (Trap Destination)
Configuring Trap Managers (i.e., trap destinations) includes defining IP address and port. This
configuration corresponds to the snmpTargetAddrTable. The agent supports up to five
separate trap destinations. For each manager, you need to set the manager IP address and
trap-receiving port along with enabling the sending to that manager.
