5 Cnfiguring and Mnitring Alcatel Switches Chapter 1 Cnfiguring and Mnitring Alcatel Switches This chapter deals with the steps invlved in the cnfiguring and mnitring the Alcatel Switch servers. 1.1 Cnfiguring and Mnitring Alcatel Switches 1. Lg int the eg administrative interface. 2. eg Enterprise cannt autmatically discver an Alcatel Switch server. Yu need t manually add the server using the add/mdify cmpnents page (see Figure 1.1) that appears when the Infrastructure -> Cmpnents -> Add/Mdify menu sequence is fllwed. Remember that cmpnents manually added are managed autmatically. Figure 1.1:Adding an Alcatel Switch server 3. When yu attempt t sign ut, a list f uncnfigured tests appears (see Figure 1.2). 1

6 Cnfiguring and Mnitring Alcatel Switches Figure 1.2: List f Uncnfigured tests fr the Alcatel Switch server 4. Click n the Alcatel Devices test t cnfigure it. This test reprts critical statistics related t the switch device. Figure 1.3:Cnfiguring the Alcatel Devices test 5. T cnfigure the test, specify the fllwing in Figure 1.3: TEST PERIOD - Hw ften shuld the test be executed HOST - The hst fr which the test is t be cnfigured PORT - The prt number at which the specified HOST listens SNMPPORT This parameter appears nly if the MODE is set t SNMP. Here specify the prt number thrugh which the server expses its SNMP MIB. The default value is 161. SNMPVERSION This parameter appears nly if the MODE is set t SNMP. By default, the eg agent supprts SNMP versin 1. Accrdingly, the default selectin in the SNMPVERSION list is v1. Hwever, if a different SNMP framewrk is in use in yur envirnment, say SNMP v2 r v3, then select the crrespnding ptin frm this list. SNMPCOMMUNITY This parameter appears nly if the MODE is set t SNMP. Here, specify the SNMP cmmunity name that the test uses t cmmunicate with the mail server. The default is public. This parameter is specific t SNMP v1 and v2 nly. Therefre, if the SNMPVERSION chsen is v3, then this parameter will nt appear. USERNAME This parameter appears nly when v3 is selected as the SNMPVERSION. SNMP versin 3 (SNMPv3) is an extensible SNMP Framewrk which supplements the SNMPv2 Framewrk, by additinally supprting message security, access cntrl, and 2

7 Cnfiguring and Mnitring Alcatel Switches remte SNMP cnfiguratin capabilities. T extract perfrmance statistics frm the MIB using the highly secure SNMP v3 prtcl, the eg agent has t be cnfigured with the required access privileges in ther wrds, the eg agent shuld cnnect t the MIB using the credentials f a user with access permissins t be MIB. Therefre, specify the name f such a user against the USERNAME parameter. AUTHPASS Specify the passwrd that crrespnds t the abve-mentined USERNAME. This parameter nce again appears nly if the SNMPVERSION selected is v3. CONFIRM PASSWORD Cnfirm the AUTHPASS by retyping it here. AUTHTYPE This parameter t appears nly if v3 is selected as the SNMPVERSION. Frm the AUTHTYPE list bx, chse the authenticatin algrithm using which SNMP v3 cnverts the specified USERNAME and PASSWORD int a 32-bit frmat t ensure security f SNMP transactins. Yu can chse between the fllwing ptins: MD5 Message Digest Algrithm SHA Secure Hash Algrithm ENCRYPTFLAG This flag appears nly when v3 is selected as the SNMPVERSION. By default, the eg agent des nt encrypt SNMP requests. Accrdingly, the ENCRYPTFLAG is set t NO by default. T ensure that SNMP requests sent by the eg agent are encrypted, select the YES ptin. ENCRYPTTYPE If the ENCRYPTFLAG is set t YES, then yu will have t mentin the encryptin type by selecting an ptin frm the ENCRYPTTYPE list. SNMP v3 supprts the fllwing encryptin types: DES Data Encryptin Standard AES Advanced Encryptin Standard ENCRYPTPASSWORD Specify the encryptin passwrd here. CONFIRM PASSWORD Cnfirm the encryptin passwrd by retyping it here. TIMEOUT - This parameter appears nly if the MODE is set t SNMP. Here, specify the duratin (in secnds) within which the SNMP query executed by this test shuld time ut in the TIMEOUT text bx. The default is 10 secnds. 6. Then, click the update buttn in Figure 1.3, t save the changes. 7. Nw, try t signut again. Yu will be prmpted t cnfigure the Alcatel Mdules test. This test reprts the resurce usage f the mdules f the Alcatel switch. 3
