Before you begin
- To configure SNMP traps, you require a server that acts as an SNMP server. The SNMP server can be any Windows or Linux system installed with a MIB browser such as iReasoning.
To view the requirements and download a copy of iReasoning MIB browser, follow the link: https://ireasoning.com/mibbrowser.html.
- Make sure the IP address of the 100G Active Fail-Open chassis can be reached within the network.
- Make sure the SNMP server and the 100G Active Fail-Open chassis are able to communicate.
- In addition, you need to obtain MIB files to decode alert codes sent by the 100G Active Fail-Open modules. This file can be obtained from the Web Interface → SNMP → Mib File.
Task
- Connect an RJ-45 cable to the management port at the front of the 100G Active Fail-Open chassis.
- Connect the other end to a network device so that the SNMP server is reachable through the network.
-
Copy the MIB files of an Active Fail-Open module to a suitable location on the SNMP server.
For example, an SNMP trap is generated when one of the following events occur:
- Bypass state changes
- Any of the port link status changes
- Either power supply state changes or some other trap defined under SNMP → Trap Filter in the web interface.
- Set up the 100G Active Fail-Open chassis IP address, network mask, and SNMP manager IP address using the commands provided in the section Active Fail-Open.
- Make sure the SNMP manager and Active Fail-Open chassis are able to communicate.
