2.2.2 SNMP Configuration
The network-wide plan for SNMP configuration should be finalized before DSR installation proceeds. This section provides recommendations for these decisions.
SNMP traps can originate from DSR Application Servers (NOAM, SOAM, MPs of all types) in a DSR installation.
DSR application servers can be configured to:
- Send all their SNMP traps to the NOAM by merging them from their local SOAM. All traps terminate at the NOAM and are viewable from the NOAM GUI (entire network) and the SOAM GUI (site specific). Traps are displayed on the GUI both as alarms and logged in trap history. This is the default configuration option and no changes are required for this to take effect.
- Send all their SNMP traps to an external Network Management Station (NMS). The traps are seen at the SOAM and NOAM as alarms. They are viewable at the configured NMS(s) as traps.
