Chapter 6: Post installation tasks for IP Office
devices
Overview
This chapter describes the tasks you should perform after installing Avaya Network
Management with IP Office. Initial configuration consists of the following steps:
1. Enable SNMP for each IP Office device.
2. Add IP Office devices to Avaya Network Management Console.
3. Configure access parameters for IP Office devices.
4. Upgrade the IP Office devices using Avaya Software Update Manager.
Step 1: Enable SNMP on the IP Office devices
Before you can use Avaya Network Management Console to discover the IP Office devices
automatically in your network, you must configure the community string in IP Office Manager for
each IP Office device in your network.
Note:
Note: If you have IP Office Release 2.1 or earlier, go to Step 2. SNMP is not supported
in these releases.
Using IP Office Manager, perform the following steps for each IP Office device:
l Configure the SNMP community string and set the port to 161.
l Enable trap destinations. Enter the IP address of the Windows server where Avaya
Network Management is installed, select all of the trap check boxes, set the port to 162,
and configure the SNMP community string.
