Configuring iControl to Generate SNMP Traps for All Alarms
To configure iControl to generate SNMP traps for all/any alarms
1. In the GSM Alarm Browser, click the Admin tab, and then click the Actions tab..
2. Click Add global.
3. In the New action window, select SNMP Trap Sender, and then click New.
4. Select SNMP Trap Sender, and then click New.
The SNMP trap configuration window appears.
5. In the SNMP trap configuration window, specify an alarm transition that will trigger the
SNMP trap; select one or more alarm states in the left column (from), and then one or more
in the right column (to). For example, if you select from Normal to Critical, an SNMP trap
will be sent whenever a green alarm turns to red.
Next, specify a trap number (between 1 and 99999) that describes the trap event. Some
numbers are pre-defined in your Grass Valley MIB files. You can also define your own trap
numbers.
In the Destination address field, type the IP address of the SNMP Manager that is to receive
the trap. Choose v1 from the SNMP trap version menu, and then click OK.
6. In the Admin tab of the General status managers window, an entry labelled SNMP trap
sender appears (with an associated SNMP Manager address) in the Global actions list.
7. Close the window.
WARNING: Depending on the scale of your GSM-visible alarm footprint, performing this
procedure may have a detrimental impact upon iControl, a destination
SNMP manager, or general network performance. Care should be taken when
configuring GSM SNMP agents for all alarms.
REQUIREMENT
Before beginning this procedure, make sure you have opened the GSM Alarm Browser
(see
"Opening the GSM Alarm Browser" , on page 577).
Note: Values 1 to 99999 are reserved for user-defined virtual alarms and for third
party SNMP devices. Values of 100000 and up are iControl alarms.
