4.1 SNMP Overview

The main features of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent of Alarm Forwarding are:

Overview

  • The Management Information Base (MIB) contains Managed Object types, Managed Objects, and opened alarms in specific tables.
  • The MIB is loaded at SNMP agent startup with metadata and opened alarms already forwarded.

Validation of Traps Sent

  • Traps contain a sequence number (since agent startup) that permits Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) to check that none were lost.
  • In case of a gap (lost trap) or if the number is lower, the process is restarted and TNM can re-synchronize its database by querying the opened alarms table.

Acknowledgment or Termination from SNMP

A dedicated Access Module for TeMIP is available to integrate easily with the NSP Forwarding SNMP agent.

Note:

SNMP trap forwarding requires the system administrator to configure the destination address, please refer to Configure SNMP Management Server in Oracle Communications IDIH Operation, Administration, and Maintenance.
