SNMP Configuration

Mitel Performance Analytics supports SNMP v1, v2C, and v3 for retrieval of device information. The configuration options are different for SNMP v1 and v2C, and for SNMP v3.

SNMP v1 and v2C use a community string to authenticate SNMP requests.

Mitel Performance Analytics allows configuration of the following:

Community string (common default is “public”)

SNMP port (standard port is 161)

SNMP v3 supports a user-based security model that enables:

No authentication or encryption

Authentication only

Authentication with encryption (also referred to as Privacy)

Authentication options are MD5 and SHA.

Encryption options are DES and AES128.

NOTE: For Windows Server based devices, we recommend you use SNMP v1.

Certain SNMP v3 devices require that the SNMP agent requesting information use a specified engine ID.

Mitel Performance Analytics SNMP v3 configuration options allow you to specify:

SNMP Port (standard port is 161)

V3 Username:

V3 Auth Type: MD5 or SHA

V3 Auth Password: Required for authentication

V3 Priv Type: DES or AES128

V3 Priv Password: Required for privacy

EngineID: Leave blank in most cases; certain SNMPv3 agents may require this to be specified

SNMP v3 Trap User: Check this option if a second SNMP user is required to receive traps (i.e MiVoice 5000 devices). When selected, the following options are displayed:
