SNMP Trap Configuration

In this tutorial, we'll show how to configure SNMP traps on the Huawei OLT.

Important note

SNMP traps are extremely important for the system to detect events in real time.

Requirements and Notes​

Before starting the steps below, you'll need:

  • The Cpehub Server's IP address (Public or via VPN)
  • The SNMP Trap password.

You'll find the IP on the VPNs screen or in the Administration -> Settings -> General tab menu

SNMP Config Info

You'll find the password/community for sending traps on the OLT's "Snmp Trap" tab

SNMP Config Info

Don't forget, all commands must be run in the Config view.

HUAWEI> enable
HUAWEI# config
HUAWEI(config)# Now you can run the commands

1. Configure the communication parameters​

Inside config mode, configure the communication parameters with the following command:

HUAWEI(config)# snmp-agent target-host trap-paramsname "Cpehub" v2c securityname TRAP_PASSWORD

2. Configure the remote server​

Inside config mode, run the command below:

Note: The YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_IP variable will be the server's IP — depending on your topology, enter the server's public IP or the VPN's internal IP.

HUAWEI(config)# snmp-agent target-host trap-hostname "Cpehub" address YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_IP udp-port 162 trap-paramsname "Cpehub"

We created the profile with id 1, remember that we'll use this id in steps 4 and 5.

3. Configure the format and enable​

Inside config mode, run the command below:

HUAWEI(config)# snmp-agent trap-format standard
HUAWEI(config)# snmp-agent trap enable standard

4. Confirm it's working​

On the Huawei OLT screen in Cpehub, you'll see that the SNMP Trap indicator turns green:

You can also open the SNMP Traps tab and watch them arrive in real time:
