G700 Traps
Configure the G700 to send SNMP traps
Configuring the G700 Media Gateway to send SNMP traps to the primary server can be
accomplished by two commands:
G700 Traps
● Layer 2 Switching Processor CLI command: set snmp community trap [community
string]
● Media Gateway Processor (MGP) CLI command: set snmp trap
enable
Configure an SNMP community string for traps
SNMP requires community strings to be used for each SNMP "request". Only three community
strings can be set on the G700 — one each for read requests, write requests, and traps. The
command for traps is set snmp community trap [community string].
To configure an SNMP community string for traps
1. Open the Run dialog box.
2. Enter telnet
3. Log in as root.
4. At the L2 Processor CLI prompt, enter set snmp community trap [community
string]
5. Enter exit
Configure the destination for G700 SNMP traps
Events occurring on the G700 cause SNMP traps to be generated. The G700 MGP can be
configured to send SNMP traps to any network management system (NMS) in the network,
including the primary server. The MGP CLI set snmp trap command is the way to configure
the NMS network element that will receive those traps. The traps are sent in User Datagram
Protocol (UDP) on the customer’s IP network.
