Once you have successfully activated the tbSnmpAgent application, follow these steps to configure the SNMP system parameters:


1) Click Applications in the navigation panel.



2) In the Application Configuration List, select tbsnmpagent.



3) Click Application Params



4) Enter values for the following parameters:

  • SNMP IP Port: The IP port to use for making SNMP requests (standard default value is 161).
  • SNMP System Description: The textual description that will appear when polling the sysDescr variable of the SNMPv2-MIB.
  • SNMP System Object ID: The value appended to TelcoBridges' value (.1.3.6.1.4.1.21776.3) for the SNMPv2-MIB variable sysObjectId**SNMP System Name: the textual description that will appear when polling the sysName variable of the SNMPv2-MIB.
  • SNMP System Location: The textual description that will appear when polling the sysLocation variable of the SNMPv2-MIB.
  • SNMP System Contact: The textual description that will appear when polling the sysContact variable of the SNMPv2-MIB.



5) Click Advanced Params to view or change advanced settings for the following parameter(s):

  • Polling delay to generate traps: Sets the length (in seconds) for the time intervals at which the SNMP agent polls for newly generated traps.
  • Use system names: Indicates that SNMP uses the names interfaces of the system instead of the names interfaces generated by adapters.



  • Click Save



6) Verify that the ApplicationCfg was sucessfully updated message is displayed.
