SECURITY ALERT:
!
SECURITY ALERT: The Get and Set community name strings are initially configured with the default
values of Public and Private, respectively. These community name strings
function as passwords for their respective SNMP operation. Avaya recommends
that you change these community name strings to something other than the
default values. If you leave the defaults in place, a serious security issue can
result.
For information about which traps to set, see Setting selected traps (alarming)
on page 30.
● If the control network is nondedicated, ensure that the 162/udp port for input to server is
enabled and the default is disabled. If you do not enable the 162/udp port and disable the
default, the media server cannot receive the traps from either UPS. See Enabling firewall
settings on page 44.
Administering the SNMP module
Note:
Note: Use the default IP addresses.
1. Connect the RS-232 serial port of your Services laptop computer to the DB-9 connector on
the back of the SNMP module for UPS1. Use the DB-9 to DB-9 serial cable that is supplied
with the SNMP module.
2. Open a VT-100 terminal emulation session on your computer.
3. Set the IP address for the UPS.
4. Set the subnet mask for the UPS.
5. Set the gateway address for the UPS.
6. Set the IP address of the trap receiver for the UPS.
7. Set the SNMP community name string for Get, Set, and Trap. For information on which
traps to set, see Setting selected traps (alarming)
on page 30.
8. When you finish, disconnect your computer from the UPS.
9. Connect one end of a CAT5 straight-through cable to the RJ45 connector on the UPS
SNMP module and the other end of the cable to the next available port on the Ethernet
switch for Control Network A (CNA).
For a connectivity guide, see the Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8500
Media Server (555-245-701).
After you configure the SNMP module in the UPS, you must configure the SNMP subagent on
the Avaya Ethernet switch.
