Enabling Administrative Trap Types

Use this task to enable traps for certain Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC) events that are reported to a network management system. These settings are applicable to both SNMPv1v2 and SNMPv3 deployments. The SBC does not require you to enable traps other than those in the following steps.

  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. enable-snmp-monitor-traps—When this parameter is enabled, the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller generates traps with unique trap-IDs for each syslog event. If this parameter is disabled , a single trap-ID is used for all events, with different values in the description string. The default is disabled. The valid values are:

    • enabled | disabled

  4. enable-snmp-auth-traps—Set whether the SNMP authentication traps are enabled. If an SNMP request fails authentication because of SNMP community mismatch, the SNMP request will be rejected. This field determines if an SNMP trap will be sent in response to the authentication failure. The default is disabled. Valid values for this parameter are:

    • enabled | disabled

  5. enable-env-monitor-traps—Set whether or not the SNMP environment monitor traps are enabled. Environment traps include main board PROM temperature, power supplies, fan speeds, etc. The default is disabled. Valid values for this parameter are:

    • enabled | disabled

  6. enable-snmp-syslog-notify—Set whether SNMP traps are sent when the system generates an alarm message. The SNMP agent sends a trap when an alarm is generated if the following conditions are met:

    • SNMP is enabled.

    • This field is enabled.

    • The syslog severity level is equal to or greater than the severity level configured in the SNMP Syslog Level field.

      The default is disabled. Valid values are:

    • enabled | disabled

  7. snmp-syslog-his-table-length—Set the length of the syslog trap history table. When a syslog message that meets the SNMP syslog level field criteria is generated and SNMP is enabled, the SNMP agent adds that message to a history table. This parameter indicates the number of entries the table can contain. The default is 1. The valid range is:

    • Minimum—1

    • Maximum—500

      Once the last table entry is filled, the oldest entry will be overwritten with a new entry.

  8. snmp-syslog-level—Set the log severity level threshold that will cause the syslog trap to be sent to an NMS. When this criteria is met and the appropriate SNMP trap is sent, an entry is written to the SNMP Syslog History Table. The default is warning. The following are valid values:

    • emergency | critical | major | minor | warning | notice | info | trace | debug | detail
