Configuring SNMP Agent

Last Updated : Sep 19, 2019 |

About this task

The management system can raise a query for SNMP specific information. The SNMP Agent on Avaya Aura® MS receives these queries and sends a response back to the management system with the requested information.

All SNMP requests must be sent to the Avaya Aura® MS SNMP Agent. This SNMP agent processes all the media server specific SNMP requests. The Avaya Aura® MS SNMP Agent acts as a proxy for other SNMP requests. These requests are forwarded to the native SNMP agent of the operating system.

Perform the following procedure to configure Avaya Aura® MS SNMP Agent.

Before you begin

Add a SNMPv3 user if you wish to enable SNMPv3 in the agent

Add a SNMPv1/v2c user if you wish to enable SNMP v1/2c in the agent.

To add a SNMP user, see Adding a SNMP User.

Procedure

  1. On the Primary server navigate to EM > System Configuration > Network Settings > SNMP > Destinations.
  2. In the General Settings section:
    1. Select the Agent Enabled field to enable the media server SNMP agent. To disable the media server SNMP agent, clear the Agent Enabled field.
    2. Enter the system location in the System Location field.

  4. (Optional) In the Version 1/2c section
    1. Select the Enabled field to enable SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c support in the media server SNMP agent. Clear this field to disable SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c support.
