Configure notification by SNMP traps

Prev Next

Prerequisites:

  • To configure SNMP traps, you will require a server that will act as an SNMP server. The SNMP server can be any Windows or Linux system installed with a MIB browser, such as iReasoning.

  • The 100G Active Fail-Open chassis IP address should be reachable within the network.

  • The SNMP server and the 100G Active Fail-Open chassis should be able to communicate.

  • In addition, you will need to obtain the MIB files to decode alert codes sent by the 100G Active Fail-Open chassis. Refer to step 5 for more information.

Note

The SNMP feature of your 100G Active Fail-Open chassis can only be used to send notifications through SNMP traps.

  1. Login to the web interface of the 100G Active Fail-Open chassis.

    Use default credentials to access the web interface.

  2. To add an SNMP v3 user:

    1. Go to SNMP → Agent.

    3. To save your configuration, select the Save tab.

      Click Save.

    New user is added, type a password that is required for both Auth= sha and Priv= aes for the user.

  3. To add Trap Hosts:

    The main SNMP v3 server can be added in this section by configuring a host with same community/SNMP v3 user/password/auth&priv as per configured in step b for SNMP v3 users.

    Note

    The main SNMP v3 server (to be able to do GET/WALK function and receive traps from 100G Active Fail-Open module) and/or SNMP v1/v2c/v3 trap host(s) must have the same configuration as per configured here to be able to receive traps from 100G Active Fail-Open module.

    1. Go to SNMP → Agent.

    2. Enter an IPv4 Trap Host and click Add.

      GUID-513725EA-80C8-4172-8CD0-7C933F2C6533-low.jpg
      • When configuring SNMP v1 or v2 trap user, only community string is user configurable with a minimum of 5 characters.

      • When configuring SNMP v3 trap user, Community/SNMP v3 User, Auth/Priv, and Password need to be configured.

        • Community/SNMP v3 User: Should be at least 5 characters for SNMP v3 user

        • Auth/Priv: Choose sha/aes or md5/des from the drop-down list

        • Password: Should be at least 8 characters

    3. Click Commit.

    4. To save your configuration, select the Save tab.

      Click Save.

      It generates a MIB file.

      Note

      Use this MIB file on your main SNMP v3 or Trap Host servers to translate all MIB OIDs being generated.
