Configure the PBX to Communicate with an NMS by SNMP

Yeastar K2 IPPBX provide a Graphical User Interface for administrator to configure SNMP. This topic describes how to configure SNMP on PBX to establish a connection between the PBX and the NMS.

Note: The SNMP settings configured on PBX and NMS must be consistent.
  1. Log in PBX interface, go to Settings > System > SNMP.
  2. Select the checkbox of Enable to enable SNMP.
  3. In the Local Port field, enter the SNMP port.
  4. Set the SNMP connection:
    Note: In case that the PBX is monitored by different NMS that has different SNMP versions, you can configure SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 on the PBX for communicating with all the NMSs.
    • If the NMS runs SNMPv3 to manage the PBX, set the SNMP version to SNMPv3 on PBX:
      1. In the SNMPv3 User field, enter the user name.
      2. In the Access Limit drop-down list, select the authentication method.
        • NoAuth: Access control based on the user name.
        • Auth: Access control based on the HMAC-MD5 authentication. If you select this authentication, enter the authentication password.
        • Priv: Access control based on the HMAC-MD5 authentication, and encrypt data by CBC-DES. If you select this authentication, enter the authentication password and encryption password.
    • If the NMS runs SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 to manage PBX, set the SNMP version to SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 on PBX:
      1. In the SNMP Mode drop-down list, select the SNMP version.
      2. In the Community field, enter the community name.
      3. In the IP/SubnetMask field, enter the IP address and Subnet Mask where the PBX and the NMS are located.
        Note: For SNMPv1 and SNMPv2, the PBX and the NMS must be in the same LAN.
  5. Click Save.
