A.13 Workaround for SNMP Configuration

This procedure configures or updates the SNMP with SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 as the enabled versions for SNMP traps configuration, as PMAC does not support SNMPv3.

Perform this workaround step in the following cases:

• If SNMP is not configured.
• If SNMP is already configured and SNMPv3 (V3Only) is selected as enabled version.

1. Login to the NOAM VIP GUI using the VIP. Expand Administration navigate to Remote Servers click SNMP Trapping. Select the Server Group tab for SNMP trap configuration:

2. In the NOAM VIP GUI, configure or update system-wide SNMP trap receiver(s). Type the IP address or hostname of the Network Management Station (NMS) where you want to forward traps. This IP should be reachable from the NOAMP’s XMI network. If already configured SNMP with SNMPv3 as enabled version, another server needs to be configured here.
3. Continue to fill in additional secondary, tertiary, etc., Manager IPs in the corresponding slots if desired.

4. Set the Enabled Versions as SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.

   Note:

   In case, enabled versions of already configured SNMP is V3Only, then update the enabled versions as above.
5. Mark the Traps Enabled checkboxes for the Manager servers being configured.

7. Leave all other fields at their default values, click OK.
8. Log in to PMAC GUI. If needed, open a web browser and enter the command http://<pmac_management_ip>. Log in as the pmacadmin user.
9. In the PMAC GUI, update the TVOE host SNMP community string. Expand the folder Administration navigate to Credentials click SNMP Community String Update. Select the "Use Site Specific Read/Write Community String" option.
