Via the SNMP
Agent allows retrieval of Avaya IP600 status data, system time, trunk group
information, board data, DS1 board data, ATM board data, port data, station data, and
data modules. It provides retrieval of information regarding trunk outage data, lightly-
used trunks, long and short trunk holding times, and trunk group performance
measurements. In addition, it provides tables of the Avaya IP600’s external devices,
of the trunks in a trunk group, tables allowing access to the contents of the Avaya
IP600’s bulletin board, and tables of the Avaya IP600’s signaling groups.
SNMP Traps
The Avaya IP600 agent generates SNMP traps for Avaya IP600 alarms and restarts.
As per requests by DEFINITY Proxy Agent customers, it also generates traps for
resolved alarms. The same traps are generated for all alarms. SNMP traps are sent for
each new Avaya IP600 alarm, when Avaya IP600 alarms are resolved, and for Avaya
IP600 restarts.
The agent will generate SNMP traps for INTUITY AUDIX alarms that are sent to the
Global Alarm Monitor (GAM), and send SNMP traps for NT events that are sent to
the GAM.
For INTUITY AUDIX alarm traps, the SNMP native agent also implements the
portions of the CornerStone MIB that apply to alarms. For Avaya IP600 data, Avaya
IP600 uses a new MIB, which is a modified subset of the DEFINITY Proxy Agent
MIB.
Avaya IP600 Co-Resident Modules
The SNMP agent uses the Avaya IP600 co-resident modules as follows:
GAM
The SNMP agent will not send alarms to the GAM for INADS alarm reporting, but
will receive alarm notifications from the GAM. The SNMP agent generates TCP/IP
alarm notifications (traps) based on alarm notifications received from the GAM.
WatchDog
The SNMP agent is registered with the Avaya IP600 WatchDog process. This allows
it to start automatically when the operating system is booted. An administrator will
also be able to start and stop the native agent manually. The SNMP native agent will
not subscribe to the Avaya IP600 WatchDog “heartbeat” (handshake) service.
