SNMP alarm notification
Customers can extend their existing Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) alarm notification functionality to messaging
application server (MAS) units and to the Message Storage Server (MSS).
Important:Avaya does not supply NMS units. Customers or Business
Partners that choose to use SNMP alarm notification with
their MAS units and MSS must ensure that:
— The NMS is installed, set up, and tested prior to technicians
arriving onsite for the Avaya Modular Messaging installation
or upgrade
— The MAS and the MSS communicate with the SNMP NMS
When an MAS or the MSS enters an alarm state, it can notify service
personnel of its alarm state by sending SNMP alarm traps to a pre-defined
NMS. In some SNMP versions, traps are also called notifications or
informs.
Modular Messaging can send alarm notifications of major alarms, minor
alarms, and warnings:
! To send alarm notifications of major alarms or of major and
minor alarms, Modular Messaging sends SNMP traps to Avaya
service personnel or Business Partners. These SNMP traps are
defined in the Avaya SNMP MIB, and conveys the following
information in its payload:
— A notification object inadssnmpAlarm, as defined in the
Avaya SNMP MIB.
— inadssnmpAlarm contains two objects in its payload,
inadssnmpAlarm Message and inadssnmpAlarmTime. Both
inadssnmpAlarm Message and inadssnmpAlarmTime are
defined in the Avaya SNMP MIB.
! In addition to sending major and minor alarms via SNMP traps,
the MSS can be configured to send traps indicting warnings,
major alarms, and minor alarms to one or more additional
customer NMSs. These traps are defined in the Avaya OAM
MIB. These additional customer NMSs cannot acknowledge the
receipt of traps.
