SNMP Nortel Routers and Switches

Most Nortel devices feature an SNMP
agent that can provide powerful and vital hardware status
information. Use MonitorMagic to monitor for performance
and stability loss on your Nortel network components.

Nortel SNMP - How To Install?

To install a policy, download a policy by clicking
on the version link in the policy table below. Make sure
the file is saved to a .mpf file on your local hard disk.
Start the MonitorMagic client and select the "Local
Monitor Policies" branch in the "Policies" tab
of the network browse window. Navigate to the "Policy" menu
and click "Import policies...". Select the
downloaded policy file and click OK. The new policy is
now available in the MonitorMagic client policy tree.

Nortel SNMP - How To Configure?

1. Specify the IP-address and community of
your Nortel device
Each SNMP monitor needs a valid IP address, community
specification and Object Identifier. Our policies already
contain the Object Identifiers and default community
<public>. To configure the policy, modify each
SNMP monitor and point the IP-address to the Nortel device.
You can test each monitor by using the "Get" button
when editing the SNMP get monitor.
2. Modify SNMP OID numbers for each port
Several monitors related to an interface, such
as the "Nortel Interface State", point to a
specific OID. By default, this monitor ends with 8.1,
meaning it only monitors port/interface number 1. For
additional ports/interfaces, add new SNMP hosts to this
monitor which
correspond with the number of the port/interface.

Nortel SNMP - How To Run?

Within the MonitorMagic client, connect to a running
MonitorMagic service that has a pingable network connection
to the Nortel device. Drag-and-drop the SNMP Nortel
policy onto the open MonitorMagic service window to start
monitoring.
