Assigning an SNMP Trap to One or More Alarms
REQUIREMENT: |
Before beginning this procedure, make sure you have opened the GSM Alarm Browser ( click HERE). |
1. In the GSM Alarm Browser, select the alarm(s) to which you would like to assign SNMP traps.
NOTE: You can assign the same trap to more than one alarm by making a multiple selection (Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click). |
2. Right-click an alarm, and then click Properties.
System Response: The Alarm Properties window appears.
3. Click Add.
4. In the New action window, click SNMP trap sender, and then click New.
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 Minor, Major or Critical to Normal, an SNMP trap will be sent whenever a yellow, orange or red alarm is cleared.
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.
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. |
6. 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.
System Response: In the Alarm properties window, an entry labelled SNMP trap sender appears (with an associated SNMP Manager address) in the Actions list.
7. Click OK.
NOTE: The SNMP OIDs specific to Grass Valley devices and to the iControl GSM agent and traps are contained in MIB files (GSM‑MIB.mib and the MIRANDA‑MIB.mib) available from Grass Valley Technical Support (see "Contact Us", on page 627). |
