Appendix
The SNMP Agent

There is one SNMP agent on each Nortel VPN Gateway (NVG), and the
agent listens to the IP address of that particular device. On the VPN
Gateway that currently holds the cluster’s Management IP address (MIP),
the SNMP agent also listens to the MIP.

The SNMP agent supports SNMP version 1, version 2c and version 3.
Notification targets (the SNMP managers receiving trap messages sent by
the agent) can be configured to use either SNMP v1, v2c and v3 (with the
default being SNMP v2c). Users may specify any number of notification
targets on the VPN Gateway.

For more information about the commands used to configure the SNMP
agent in a cluster, see the "SNMP Management Configuration " section
under Configuration Menu>System Configuration in the Command
Reference
.

For detailed information about the MIB (Management Information Base)
definitions that are currently implemented for the SNMP agent, do one of
the following:
