This page provides you with a basic overview. For more details refer to: Unified Assurance Event SNMP Trap Aggregator Advanced
A default installation includes a set of rules files for processing a variety of traps from numerous different vendors. The following documentation has information regarding supported devices and other useful information:
Please contact Oracle Communications if there are devices that are sending traps not processed by the out-of-the-box Foundation rules.
SNMP Trap Aggregator Setup
-
Review the logic in the rules files referenced in the configuration to see the processing that will be done when traps are received:
-
"LoadRules" will be run during application startup to load data that might be needed during processing.
-
"IncludeRules" will be read during application startup to load additional files that might be called during processing.
-
"BaseRules" will be run for each trap that is received.
Update the logic as needed.
-
-
Enable the default Service, unless a specific configuration option is needed.
-
Configure devices to send SNMP Trap messages to the server where the SNMP Trap Aggregator has been started.
SNMPv3 Setup
A SNMP Access Profile must be created with the same credentials configured on the sending devices. Multiple SNMP Access Profiles can be setup to match different credential sets.
-
Go to the "SNMP Access" UI:
-
For each profile needed:
-
"Security Level" is always required
-
"Username" is always required
-
"Authentication Protocol" and "Authentication Password" are required if Security Level set to "authNoPriv" or "authPriv"
-
"Privacy Protocol" and "Privacy Password" are required if Security Level set to "authPriv"
