Setting the SNMP Agent Community Name

This section describes how to set the SNMP agent community name.


Caution The Windows 2000 SNMP agent provides security through the use of community names and authentication traps. All SNMP implementations universally accept the default name "public." Change the community name to limit access to the Cisco CallManager system.


Note Refer to the Microsoft Windows 2000 online help for SNMP configuration details.

Understanding Cisco Real-Time Information Server Data Collector

Cisco Real-Time Information Server (RIS) data collector runs on Microsoft Windows 2000 and has responsibility for sending the configured information from the Cisco CallManager database into the RIS database. Cisco CallManager sends all the dynamic information to the RIS database through the alarm interface.

Starting the Cisco RIS Data Collector

This section describes how to start the Cisco RIS data collector.


Note The Cisco RIS data collector service should start automatically when the system boots. Start the Cisco RIS data collector service only if it does not start automatically.


Procedure


Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel.

Step 2 Double-click Administrative Tools.

Step 3 Double-click Services.

Step 4 Choose Cisco RIS DC Service.

Step 5 From the toolbar, choose Start Service.

The Cisco RIS data collector service starts, and the Cisco CallManager SNMP extension agent is enabled.

Updating the CISCO-CCM-MIB Information

The CISCO-CCM-MIB contains both dynamic and configured (static) information related to a Cisco CallManager system. At startup, the Cisco RIS data collector service updates the RIS database with all the configured information from the Cisco CallManager database. It also updates the RIS static data when configuration data changes are made in the Cisco CallManager database. When the status of a device changes, Cisco CallManager sends all the dynamic information to the RIS database through the alarm interface.

Updating the CISCO-CDP-MIB Information

The Cisco RIS data collector interacts with the CDP driver, fetching and buffering CDP-related information.
