Prerequisites:
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 40G Active Fail-Open chassis can be reached within the network.
Make sure the SNMP server and the 40G Active Fail-Open chassis are able to communicate.
In addition, you need to obtain MIB files to decode alert codes sent by the 10G/40G Active Fail-Open modules. These files are specific to the 10G/40G Active Fail-Open modules and can be obtained by clicking this link: KB86247.
Steps:
Connect an RJ-45 cable to the Management port at the front of the 40G 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 any other trap defined under Snmp → SNMP trap control in the web interface.
Set up the 40G Active Fail-Open chassis IP address, network mask, and SNMP manager IP address using the commands provided in the section 3. Configure Active Fail-Open chassis parameters.
Make sure the SNMP manager and Active Fail-Open chassis are able to communicate.
Configuration of SNMP traps is complete when a trap appears in the MIB browser.
