Configure SNMP trap destinations and thresholds

Configure SNMP trap destinations and thresholds
		GO

Purpose

This topic describes the steps to configure SNMP. You can add or remove an SNMP trap destination for SNMP traps and configure threshold and alarms for SNMP traps.

SNMP traps are typically sent to an Operations Support System (OSS), Network Management System (NMS), or Element Management System (EMS).

Lucent CM supports up to three different SNMP trap destinations.

SNMP parameters

The SNMP parameters:

Parameter	Description
`Host`	Name of the destination that receives the SNMP trap.
`Port`	Port of the destination that receives the SNMP trap.

SNMP TCA Settings parameters

For each trap type, define the following characteristics:

Parameter	Description
`SNMP Trap Severity`	The alarm level related to the SNMP trap when the event is reported to the OSS.
`SNMP Trap Threshold`	The threshold level for this event in number of events per hour. Lucent CM sends the SNMP trap to an OSS only when the number of SNMP traps generated per hour, exceeds this value. The threshold counter is reset to 0 at the top of each hour.
`SNMP Trap Allowed`	Checkmark box to allow or inhibit threshold-cross alerting for the SNMP trap. If inhibited, all SNMP traps are reported to an OSS, no threshold is applied.

SNMP version

The Lucent CM supports SNMP version 2c (SNMPv2c).

SNMP MIB information

The Lucent CM traps are described in the following Management Information Block (MIB) files that are available on the Lucent CM server:

agcs_com.mib

ebs.mib

To access the MIB files:

Enter http://<Lucent_CM_server_name>:8843/doc/admin/intro/index.html (recommended) or http://<Lucent_CM_server_name>:8888/doc/admin/intro/index.html

Click SNMP.

Click AGCS Common MIB or AGCS EBS MIB.

SNMP trap information

Refer to Appendix C, SNMP traps for a list of the SNMP traps that are sent by Lucent CM, and details of the traps.

SNMP threshold crossing alert

Whether an SNMP event from Lucent CM is reported to an OSS, depends on the threshold level that is defined for that event. The threshold level is defined as the number of events that occur in one hour. No SNMP events are reported to the OSS until the threshold level is crossed.

Important! Lucent CM logs all SNMP events, regardless whether they are subjected to threshold-cross alerting or are sent to an OSS.

Configure SNMP trap destinations

Perform the following steps:

At the Lucent CM Explorer tree view, select Lucent CM System.

Click System Info.

Click SNMP.

If ...	then ...
you want to add an SNMP trap destination,	enter the parameters.
you want to remove an SNMP trap destination,	blank the parameters.

Click Update.

Enter the SSH passphrase.

Result: The system information is updated.

End of steps

Configure SNMP trap thresholds

Perform the following steps:

1	At the Lucent CM Explorer tree view, expand the Services folder and select SNMP TCA.
2	Select a SNMP trap and click Edit.
3	Configure the SNMP TCA Settings parameters.
4	Click Ok. End of steps
