Keywords:
Use this page to change an existing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap.
Column
Description
Enable
Whether this SNMP trap is active.
The default is Yes, which means the trap is active.
Device
The options are:
  • SSG/SAL: Experience Portal sends SNMP traps to an Avaya Services Security Gateway (SSG)/Secure Access Link (SAL).
    Note:
    Experience Portal sends only Initialization and Administration System (INADS) traps to the SSG.
  • NMS: Experience Portal sends SNMP traps to a customer-provided Network Management System (NMS).
    Note:
    The Experience Portal system does not send INADS traps to the NMS.
The default is SSG/SAL.
Transport Protocol
The options are:
  • UDP: The transport protocol is set to User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
  • TCP: The transport protocol is set to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
The default is UDP.
Host Address
The IP address or fully qualified domain name of the SNMP manager that receives the SNMP traps.
Port
The port number the Experience Portal system uses to send SNMP traps.
The default is 162.
Type
The options are:
  • Trap: Experience Portal sends notifications with the SNMP trap command.
    The receiver does not verify that the command was received.
    This notification type can be used with all versions of SNMP.
  • Inform: Experience Portal sends notifications with the SNMP inform command.
    This option can be used only with SNMP versions 2c and 3.
    When an SNMP manager receives an SNMP message with the inform command, the SNMP manager sends a response back to the SNMP agent indicating that it received the notification.
The default is Trap.
SNMP Version
The options are:
  • 1: The SNMP agent uses SNMP Version 1 to send notifications.
  • 2c: The SNMP agent uses SNMP Version 2c to send notifications.
  • 3: The SNMP agent uses SNMP Version 3 to send notifications.
The default is 3.
Security Name
The character string the Experience Portal SNMP agent uses as the identification name for the configuration.
For devices configured to use SNMP Version 1 or 2c, this string is used as the Community Name. For devices configured to use SNMP Version 3, this string is used as the Security Name.
You cannot leave this field blank or use the strings public or private.
Authentication Protocol
If the SNMP Version field is set to 3, this can be:
  • None: The system performs no authentication and you cannot use an Authentication Password. If you select this option, you must also set the Privacy Protocol field to None.
  • MD5: Authentication is performed using the Message Digest 5 (MD5) protocol. This is the default.
  • SHA: Authentication is performed using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) protocol.
Authentication Password
If the Authentication Protocol field is set to something other than None, the password that the system uses to authenticate SNMP Version 3 messages.
The password must contain at least 8 characters.
Privacy Protocol
If the SNMP Version field is set to 3, this can be:
  • None: The system performs no message encryption and you cannot set a Privacy Password.
    You must select this option if the Authentication Protocol field is set to None.
  • DES: The Data Encryption Standard (DES) protocol is used to encrypt SNMP Version 3 messages.
  • AES128: The Advanced Encryption Standard 128 (AES128) protocol is used to encrypt SNMP Version 3 messages. This is the default.
  • AES192: The Advanced Encryption Standard 192 (AES192) protocol is used to encrypt SNMP Version 3 messages.
  • AES256: The Advanced Encryption Standard 256 (AES256) protocol is used to encrypt SNMP Version 3 messages.
Note:
For the AES192 or AES256 options, the system must be configured for a high encryption level. These options are not enabled during a standard OS installation and are controlled under U.S. federal export laws.
The default is AES128.
Privacy Password
If the Privacy Protocol field is set to something other than None, the password that the system is to use for encrypted SNMP Version 3 messages.
The password must contain at least 8 characters.
