participants for that prefix appear below the list.
NOTE If the service prefix you select is subsequently deleted on the MCU, Avaya
Video Conferencing Manager chooses the next available prefix with the

Forwarding SNMP Traps with Northbound Settings
Avaya Video Conferencing Manager supports management of video communications devices through
SNMP, a standard mechanism for tracking configuration and status of a system. SNMP allows for
connection to third-party management frameworks.
Using SNMP version 3, you can send SNMP traps from Avaya Video Conferencing Manager to a
management system such as a northbound SNMP receiver. This functionality is useful to networking
companies using trap complexes. You can configure one or more SNMP trap hosts and send copies of
traps for further use with data mining tools to show trends on the network.
Trap forwarding in Avaya Video Conferencing Manager is available only for managed video and voice
devices. This feature is not available for managed gatekeepers, gateways, video conference recorders,
and MCUs.
You can specify external SNMP trap destinations to which Avaya Video Conferencing Manager forwards
traps from a single managed device using the Northbound tab on the Device details page of the device.
You can also use the Northbound Settings page in Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Administrator to
specify global trap destinations to forward all traps from all managed video and voice devices or to enable
or disable trap forwarding.
If you configure global trap destinations, each global trap destination is indicated by on the
Northbound tab on the Device details page of each managed video and voice device. You cannot edit a
global trap destination from the Device details page.
By default, trap forwarding is enabled. To disable trap forwarding, clear the Enable Avaya Video
Conferencing Manager Northbound Settings checkbox on the Northbound Settings page in Avaya
Video Conferencing Manager Administrator and refresh your browser. If you disable trap forwarding, the
Northbound tab on the Device details page does not appear.
NOTE If you configure global trap destinations in Avaya Video Conferencing
Manager Administrator and trap destinations on the Device details page for a
single device, Avaya Video Conferencing Manager forwards traps for that
device to all trap destinations specified in both Avaya Video Conferencing
Manager Administrator and on the Device details page.
