Configure SNMP System and Agent Parameters

High level SNMP identification is configured by all SNMP users. This information includes system-level management Information, system contact information, system name and location information and is applicable to both SNMPv1v2 and SNMPv3 deployments. The Oracle® Communications Session Border Controller MIB Reference Guide includes detail on SNMP data.

  1. Access the system-config configuration element.
    ORACLE# configure terminal
    ORACLE(configure)# system
    ORACLE(system)# system-config
    ORACLE(system-config)# 
  2. Type select to begin editing the system-config object.
    ORACLE(system-config)# select
    ORACLE(system-config)#
  3. mib-system-contact—Specifies contact information that is used within OCSBC MIB transactions. This value is a textual identification and usually contains information about the company system contact person.
  4. mib-system-name—Specifies the identity of this OCSBC that is presented within MIB transactions, which is the FQDN of the node.
  5. mib-system-location—Specifies the physical location of the OCSBC that is reported within MIB transactions. This parameter is reported when an SNMP GET is issued by the NMS for the MIB-II sysLocation variable. This parameter has no direct relation to the location field in the system configuration element.
  6. snmp-agent-mode —Select the operating mode of the SNMP agent.
    • v1v2—The SNMP agent supports SNMPv2.
    • v3—(Default) The SNMP agent supports SNMPv3.
    Once the SNMP agent mode is selected, the SNMP agent that you selected is enabled.
  7. snmp-engine-id-suffix—Uniquely identifies the SNMP Engine by specifying a unique suffix for the SNMPEngineID. This attribute is optional.
