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.
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)
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.
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.
Use the following general procedures 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.
•
For Duplex reliability—connect Ethernet switch 1 for Control Network A (CNA) into
UPS 1
•
For High or Critical reliability—connect Ethernet switch 1 for CNA into UPS 1 and
connect Ethernet switch 2 for Control Network B (CNB) into UPS 2.
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 using an application such as
Avaya Native Configuration Manager.
4
Administer the terminal emulation port settings:
•
9600 baud
•
No parity
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
5
Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide
6
Set the following parameters:
•
IP address and subnet mask of the Ethernet switch(es)
•
For Ethernet switch for CNA, the defaults are 198.152.254.240, 255.255.0.0.
•
For Ethernet switch for CNB, the defaults are 198.152.255.240, 255.255.0.0.
