SNMP Configuration

Last Updated : Nov 22, 2024 |

Avaya Aura® MS contains a bilingual SNMP agent that supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. The media server SNMP agent also acts as a proxy to the Operating System SNMP agent and supports the following RFC’s:

RFC

Note:

UDP transport only.

3418

The Avaya Aura® Media Server 10.2 MIB can be downloaded from support.avaya.com or PLDS using download publication ID MSR000000041. This download is a zip file that contains the AVMediaServer-MIB and the AVAYAGEN-MIB. The AVAYAGEN-MIB must be imported into the Network Management Station (NMS) before importing AVMediaServer-MIB

The following configuration is required before an NMS can issue SNMP requests to the media server:

  • Define SNMP Users

  • Enable the SNMP Agent and specify the SNMP Users that may issue SNMP requests to this device

This procedure is described in detail in the section called Configuring SNMP Agent.

The following configuration is required before an NMS can receive SNMP traps from the media server:

  • Define SNMP Users

  • Define SNMP Trap Destinations

  • Define SNMP Routes

  • Enable SNMP trap notifications for Alarms and/or Event logs.

This procedure is described in detail in section called Enabling SNMP Traps.

Note:

Avaya Aura® Media Server will send traps using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than local system time.

Important:

You can only update SNMP configuration on the Primary server. Configuration changes applied to the primary server will be replicated to all servers within the cluster.
