Adding DEFINITY Proxy Agents

DNM collects configuration, fault, and performance data from DPA through SNMP. DNM
requires you to enter the names of their DEFINITY Proxy Agents and administer the UDP
port on which DNM will receive traps.

Procedure

Add DEFINITY Proxy Agents to be supported by DNM:

Start > Programs >DEFINITY Network Management > Add New DEFINITY Proxy
Agents

1

In the IP Address field, enter the IP address (or network name) of the DEFINITY
Proxy Agent from the PA001 form.

2

In the Read Community field, enter the SNMP read community string of the
DEFINITY Proxy Agent from the PA001 form. The default is public.

3

In the Write Community field, enter the SNMP write community string of the
DEFINITY Proxy Agent from the PA001 form. The default is g3pa.

4

Click Send
The status line should indicate that DPA was successfully added to the system.

Repeat steps 1 though 4 for additional DEFINITY Proxy Agents on the PA001 form.
When all agents have been added, close the window.

Note:

PA001 form needs to be updated to include IP addresses for DEFINITY Proxy

Agents and Community Strings.

It may take several hours before supported nodes and basic configuration alarm and error
data can be collected.
