Use the following SNMP guidelines:
• Set read-only and read-write community names.
• Set a list of permitted managers. When set, the agent responds to SNMP managers requests
from those IP hosts only.
• An empty list of permitted managers implies that the agent responds to requests from anyone.
• Set trap communities. Each trap entry identifies the community name that must be used and
the manager addresses.
• Enable or disable sending authentication traps.
• Enable or disable the SNMP agent.
About defining SNMP trap destinations
Use the following to define SNMP trap destinations:
• A community list specifying community name and access privileges
• a manager list specifying SNMP manager IP addresses, in other words SNMP managers which
are allowed to make SNMP queries to the Business Communications Manager
• a trap community list which specifies destinations to which SNMP traps should be sent if
SNMP traps are enabled
Although no specific limit is set for the number of trap communities, Nortel Networks
recommends that you limit the number of trap communities to a maximum of 5. Limiting the
number of trap communities ensures that system performance does not degrade.
