Verifying the SNMP Installation on Windows

 

This procedure describes the verification of your SNMP installation on a Windows system.

Before you begin

EXS SwitchKit must be installed and the LLC needs to run. Refer to the EXS SwitchKit Installation and Maintenance Guide for further information. In some instances, output from SNMP tools refers to notifications as traps.

Installation Verification on Windows

To verify your installation follow the steps below:

1 To verify that the ENANATEÒ Master Agent installed successfully, open the snmpdm.out file with a text editor. The file is located in your installation directory, which by default is C:\Program Files\Cantata \SNMP\srconf\bin.

The first entry in the file should readas follows:

# SNMP EMANATE Master Agent service installed successfully.

If you don’t see this entry, refer to the troubleshooting section and see LongPathToShortPath Error

2 Start the Trap Receive program by doing one of the following:

Click Start®Programs® SNMP®Trap Receive

Open Windows Explorer and go to your installation directory, which by default is: C:\Program Files\Cantata\SNMP\srconf\bin. Double-click traprcv.exe. A new window opens with the following message:

# Waiting for traps.

If you don’t see this message, refer to the troubleshooting section.

3 Start the cspAgent by doing one of the following:

Click Start®Programs® SNMP® CSPAgent

From the same directory, double-click cspAgent.exe. If the process is started successfully, the following notifications appear in the traprcv window:

Received SNMPv2c Trap:

Community: public

From: 127.0.0.1

sysUpTime.0 = 336668

snmpTrapOID.0 = cspAgentMasterAgentConnect

 

Received SNMPv2c Trap:

Community: public

From: 127.0.0.1

sysUpTime.0 = 336673

snmpTrapOID.0 = cspAgentLLCConnect

4 Start the cspEventManager by doing one of the following:

Click Start®Programs®SNMP® CSPEventManager

From your installation directory, by default C:\Program Files\Cantata\SNMP\srconf\bin, double-click CSPEventManager.exe. If the process is successfully started, the following notifications appear in the traprcv window:

Received SNMPv2c Trap:

Community: public

From: 127.0.0.1

sysUpTime.0 = 356816

snmpTrapOID.0 = cspEventManagerLLCConnect

 

Received SNMPv2c Trap:

Community: public

From: 127.0.0.1

sysUpTime.0 = 356820

snmpTrapOID.0 = cspEventManagerMasterAgentConnect

5 Open a Command Prompt window and type the following:

# cd C:\Program Files\Cantata
\SNMP\srconf\bin

# getmany -v2c localhost public cspCardType

This indicates that you can communicate with the CSP and see information pass back from the CSP. The output from this command should be as follows:

cspCardType.6.1 = dsp_one(21)

cspCardType.6.2 = t_one16_span(24)

cspCardType.6.4 = mfdsp(3)

cspCardType.6.5 = e_one16_span(25)

cspCardType.6.7 = j_one16_span(30)

cspCardType.6.9 = ss7Series3(113)

cspCardType.6.10 = ss7Series3(113)

cspCardType.6.16 = exnet_one(84)

cspCardType.6.17 = lowerFanTray(248)

cspCardType.6.19 = powerSupply(240)

cspCardType.6.20 = midplane(250)

cspCardType.6.21 = ex_cpuIO(243)

cspCardType.6.22 = ex_cpuIO(243)

cspCardType.6.33 = matrixControllerSeries3(115)

cspCardType.6.53 = e_one120ohmStandbyIO(229)

cspCardType.6.54 = e_one120ohmRedundantIO(226)

cspCardType.6.57 = ccsIOSeries3(216)

cspCardType.6.58 = ccsIOSeries3(216)
