Configuring the Service Settings
This section outlines how to configure the service settings.
To Configure Service Settings
Choose Admin > Services Configuration.
Configure settings using the information in the following table as a guide.
Caption 0 Table 1 Services Configuration Item Description SNMPv1
Configures settings for SNMPv1. See Configuring SNMPv1.
Enable SNMPv1 Enables SNMPv1 services.
SNMPv1 Read-Only Community
Specifies the community string that the management station uses to access read-only objects from the system. SNMPv1 requires a read-only community string name in this field. For example: “Public”
SNMPv1 Trap Agent IP Address
Sets the IP Address used as the SOURCE of the trap. It is recommended that the IP address be one of the public addresses configured on the system. If this value has not been set, the agent uses the system WAN/Provider address.
Note: SNMPv1 Trap Agent IP Address is not the trap destination. Do not set this field unless you need to change the address contained within the body of the SNMP trap.
Enable SNMP SETs
Allows you to write SNMP MIB variables.
SNMPv1 Read-Write Community
Specifies the community string that the management station uses to access read-write objects from the system.
Show Trap Destinations
Manages SNMPv1 trap destinations.
Add a Trap Destination
IP Address Specifies the IPv4 address. Specifying this address enables cold start, authentication and linkUp/linkDown SNMP traps. Version Specifies the SNMP version (1 or 3). Community Specifies the community string for one or more destinations that receive SNMP traps.
SNMPv3
Configures settings for SNMPv3. See Configuring SNMPv3.
Enable SNMPv3 Enables SNMPv3 services. SNMPv3 User Name
Defines the SNMPv3 username for SNMPv3 User-based Security Model (USM) and View-based Access Control Model (VACM) control.
SNMPv3 Password
Authenticates the SNMPv3 user and encrypts the payload based on your SNMPv3 settings. Minimum password length is eight characters.
SNMPv3 Security
Sets the SNMPv3 security level for user authentication and encryption for synchronous requests and asynchronous traps. The configured password is used for authentication.
• None—Neither SNMPv3 authentication nor encryption are used. Default.
• Auth(MD5)—Authenticates using the MD5 hash algorithm.
• AuthPriv(MD5/DES)—Authenticates and uses the DES encryption algorithm to encrypt.
SNMPv3 Trap Context
Sets the SNMPv3 trap context to any string.
SNMPv3 Trap Destination IP Address
Specifies the IPv4 address to send traps to. This address enables cold start, authentication, and linkUp/linkDown traps.
SNMPv3 Engine ID (10-32 chars of hex pairs)
Specifies a preferred engine ID. Every SNMP v3 agent has an engine ID which serves as a unique identifier for the agent. The engine ID is used with a hashing function to generate keys for authentication and encryption of SNMPv3 messages. If you do not specify an engine ID, one is generated when you enable the standalone SNMP agent.
The SNMPv3 engine ID must contain between 10 and 32 characters of hexadecimal pairs.
SNMP Common Configuration
Optional SNMP settings. See Configuring SNMP Common Settings.
System Location
Specifies a comment string that can be used to indicate the location of the system. By default, no value is set.
System Contact Specifies the administrative contact information for the system. By default, no value is set. SNMP Port Designates the port that the system monitors to read and send SNMP data. Default is 161.
Remote System Logging Settings
Enable Remote System Logging
Allows syslog messages to be sent to a remote system.
Remote Syslog Hosts
Specifies the remote syslog host IP address of the system running a log server. The system sends to the default syslog port 514. The port cannot be changed.
You can enter multiple syslog hosts by separating the IP addresses with a space. Entering multiple host names or IP addresses causes syslog messages to be sent to each of the specified systems.
Syslog Filter Specifies the logging level for syslog service on the system. The priorities are:
• Debug—Lowest priority, logs all levels. Default.
• Informational
• Notice
• Warning
• Error
• Critical
• Alert
• Emergency—Highest priority, logs onlyEmergency level
Choosing a higher priority excludes lower level syslog messages.
Remote MOS Filter Settings
Remote MOS filter settings to allow the
to send mean opinion score (MOS) filtered syslog records to an individually defined syslog server that is separate from the server where regular system syslog messages are sent.Spacevars 0 product2 The
sends only MOS records to the specified servers. You can use this for a call accounting server.Spacevars 0 product2 Enable REMOTE MOS Filter Enables remote syslog MOS filtering.
Remote MOS Filtered Syslog Hosts
Specifies the IP address of the system running a system log server. Multiple IPs can be entered by separating them with spaces. The system sends to the default syslog port 514. The port cannot be changed.
Facility Level for MOS Filtering
Specifies the Syslog facility used to filter MOS records from the syslogs that are sent to the remote MOS filtered syslog hosts. Default is local2.
Current EMPath Management Server Displays the
that theSpacevars 0 product3
is currently connected to. Specifies IPv4, IPv6 or FQDN address to connect to anSpacevars 0 product2
version 15 or higher.Spacevars 0 product3 Set EMPath Management Server If the
does not inherit its EM Path settings, manually configured the setting here. Configure valid IPv4, IPv6 or FQDN address to connect to anSpacevars 0 product2
version 15 or higher.Spacevars 0 product3 Current Hostname
Displays the current hostname for this system.
Set Hostname Sets the hostname for this system. By default, the hostname is the system type. Once set, this information appears on the Administration home page.
A valid host must take the following form: “ABC_company_300” or “ABC-company-300”
You may enter multiple words to describe your system uniquely. However, you must separate them as shown in the example. Trailing characters must be alphanumeric. The system hostname is limited to 50 characters.
Analytics Settings
Enable Analytics
Select the checkbox to enable the feature. Prepares the system to gather SIP, Memory, and CPU utilization statistics. By default, analytics is Enabled. Statistics gathering is initiated after the first SNMP GET request is received by the system.
Note: Use this with
.Spacevars 0 product3 Set Analytics Timeout
Sets the timeout, in minutes, from the last SNMP GET request to disable statistics collection. Timeout values range from 2 to 1666666. By default, the value is 60 minutes.
Enable SIP Statistics Enable this feature to have the
collect detailed SIP statistics information.Spacevars 0 product2 Note: Enable this feature only if the
is used with anSpacevars 0 product2
version 15 or higher.Spacevars 0 product3 System Monitor Settings
Enable System Monitor
Select the checkbox to enable the feature. Prepares the system to gather Poll Cycle Length, /var space usage threshold, /etc/config space usage threshold, RAM usage threshold, CPU usage (user) threshold, CPU usage (system) threshold, and CPU usage (overall) threshold. By default, Enable System Monitor is Disabled.
Click Submit to make your changes take effect.
