To configure the AIM mediation and discovery for management of the VSR-I

General information

The NFM-P uses SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 to manage the AIM for VSR-I. After the AIM is discovered, the VSR-I IP is automatically added to the AIM discovery rule, so that it is automatically discovered.

Note: AIM does not support auto-registration of the NFM-P IP address for trap forwarding during discovery. You must manually enter the NFM-P IP address during AIM agent configuration at start-up so that traps from the AIM agent are sent to the NFM-P.

Note: You must configure the SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 parameters the same way for AIM and the VSR-I.

Steps
 
1 

Configure an SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 mediation security policy on the NFM-P.

  1. Choose Administration→Mediation from the NFM-P main menu. The Mediation (Edit) form opens.

  2. Click on the Mediation Security tab.

  3. Click Create. The Mediation Policy (Create) form opens.

  4. Configure the Displayed Name parameter.

  5. Set the Security Model parameter to SNMP v2c or SNMPv3.

  6. In the SNMP panel, set the Port parameter to 161.

  7. To create an SNMPv2 user on the NFM-P, go to the next step. To create an SNMPv3 user on the NFM-P, go to step 9.

  8. Create an SNMPv2 user on the NFM-P:

    1. Configure the Community String parameter to XYZ, where XYZ is the SNMP community string configured on the AIM node.

    2. Go to step 10

  9. Create an SNMPv3 user on the NFM-P:

    1. Choose Administration→Security→NE User Configuration from the NFM-P main menu. The NE User Configuration form opens.

    2. Click Create. The NE User, Global Policy (Create) form opens.

    3. Configure the user name and other required parameters, and choose the SNMP option for the Access parameter.

    4. Click on the SNMPv3 tab and provide the authentication and privacy parameters.

    5. In the CLI/NETCONF panel, configure the required parameters.

  10. Save your changes.

2 

Create a discovery rule for the VSR-I on the NFM-P:

  1. Choose Administration→Discovery Manager from the NFM-P main menu. The Discovery Manager (Edit) form opens.

  2. Click Create. The Create Discovery Rule step form opens.

  3. In step 1 (Specify General Attributes), configure the required parameters, then click Next.

  4. In step 2 (Add Rule Elements), click Create. The Topology Discovery Rule Element (Create) form opens.

  5. Enter the AIM management IP address as the rule element for the discovery rule.

  6. Click OK, then click Next.

  7. In step 3 of the step form (Configure Mediation Security), click Select and choose the mediation security policy that you created in step 1 for the Read Policy ID, Write Policy ID, and Trap Policy ID parameters.

  8. Save your changes.

3 

Use the NFM-P client to discover the VSR-I. The NFM-P discovers both AIM and VSR-I in a new topology group under the equipment tree named VSR-a..
