Configuring Management Settings


Configuring Management Settings
 
This chapter provides instructions for configuring management options such as Object Request Broker Element Management (ORBEM) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
 
Configuring ORBEM Settings Overview
The system can be managed by a Common Object Broker Request Architecture (CORBA)-based software application called the Web Element Manager.
In order for the system to communicate with the server running the Web Element Manager application, you mus configure the ORBEM settings.
Important: Commands used in the configuration samples in this section provide base functionality. The most common commands and keyword options are presented. In many cases, other optional commands and keyword options are available. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference for information about all commands.
Configure the system to communicate with the Web Element Manager:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
Configuring Client and Port Parameters
Use the following example to set client ID parameters and configure the SIOP/TCP port settings:
configure
  orbem
     client id encrypted password <password>
     max-attempt <number>
     session-timeout <time>
     siop-port <port_number>
     event-notif-siop-port <siop_notif_port>
     event-notif-service
     end
Notes:
Configuring Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) Transport Parameters
Use the following example to configure IIOP transport parameters that enable ORB-based management to be performed over the network:
configure
  orbem
     iiop-transport
     iiop-port <iiop_port_number>
     event-notif-iiop-port <iiop_notif_port>
     end
Notes:
 
Verifying ORBEM Parameters
Step 1
 
show orbem client table
This command lists the configured ORBEM clients and displays their state and privileges.
Step 2
 
show orbem status
The following displays a sample of this command’s output.
 
Service State : On
Management Functions : FCAPS
IOP URL : 192.168.1.150
SSL Port : 14131
TCP Port : 14132
Notification SSL Port : 7777
Notification TCP Port : 7778
Session Timeout : 86400 secs
Max Login Attempts : 5
IIOP Transport : On
Notification : On
Debug Level : Off
IDL Version Check : On
Number of Current Sessions : 1
Number of Event Channels Open : 0
Number of Operations Completed : 2895
Number of Events Processed : 0
Avg Operation Processing time : 87214 usecs
(last 1000) : 87950 usecs
 
Configuring System SNMP Settings
 
The system uses the SNMP to send traps or events to the Web Element Manager server or an alarm server on the network.
In order for the system to communicate with those devices, configure SNMP settings.
Important: Commands used in the configuration samples in this section provide base functionality. The most common commands and keyword options are presented. In many cases, other optional commands and keyword options are available. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference for complete information.
To configure the system to communicate with the WEM server or an alarm server, enter:
 
[local]host_name#
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
Configuring SNMP and Alarm Server Parameters
Use the following example to set SNMP and alarm server parameters:
configure
  system contact <contact_name>
  system location <location_name>
  snmp authentication-failure-trap
  snmp community <community_string>
  snmp server port <port_number>
  snmp target <name ip_address>
  snmp engine-id local <id_string>
  snmp notif-threshold <value> low <low_value> period <time_period>
  snmp user <user_name>
  end
Notes:
The snmp engine-id local command is optional. It is only required if your network requires SNMP v3 support. The engine ID uniquely identifies the SNMP engine and the SNMP entitiy(ies) thus providing a security association between the two for the sending and receiving of data.
Important: SNMPv3 traps are not supported for Web Element Management application.
 
Verifying SNMP Parameters
 
show snmp server
The following displays a sample output.
 
SNMP Server Configuration:
Server State : enabled
SNMP Port : 161
sysLocation : chicago
sysContact : admin
authenticationFail traps : Enabled
EngineID : 123456789
Alert Threshold : 100 alerts in 300 seconds
Alert Low Threshold : 20 alerts in 300 seconds
 
show snmp communities
The output of this command lists the configured SNMP communities and their corresponding access levels.
 
show snmp transports
The following displays a sample output:
 
Target Name: rms1
IP Address: 192.168.1.200
Port: 162
Default: Default
Security Name: public
Version: 1
Security:
View:
Notif Type: traps
 
Controlling SNMP Trap Generation
The system uses SNMP traps to indicate that certain events have occurred. Refer to the SNMP MIB Reference for a complete listing of the traps supported by the system and their descriptions.
By default, the system enables the generation of all traps. However, you can disable individual traps to allow only traps of a certain type or alarm level to be generated. This section provides instructions for disabling/enabling SNMP traps.
Important: Commands used in the configuration samples in this section provide base functionality. The most common commands and keyword options are presented. In many cases, other optional commands and keyword options are available. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference for complete information regarding all commands.
To configure SNMP trap generation:
Step 1
 
Configure
  snmp trap suppress
  snmp trap suppress <trap_name1> <trap_name2> ... <trap_nameN>
Important: If at a later time you wish to re-enable a trap that was previously suppressed, use the snmp trap enable command. Use the following command to specify which traps go to a specific trap server:
 
snmp trap enable <trap_name1> <trap_name2> ... <trap_nameN> target <target-name>
Step 2
Save the configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
