This article explains the procedure on how to configure a third party SNMP Manager

As an administrator or operator, you can use Junos Space to track the status of physical and logical components of deployed nodes in a fabric. Junos Space Network Management Platform supports SNMP Monitoring by an SNMP Manager for SNMP v1, v2c, and v3. The SNMP manager polls Junos Space to obtain information about the logical components of the nodes using an object identifier (OID) in SNMP v1 and v2, or v3 as a user. The response is provided by the Junos Space SNMP agent and the polled data is displayed in the Network Monitoring workspace.

Adding a Third-Party SNMP V1 or V2c Manager on a Fabric Node

To add a third-party SNMP V1 or V2c manager on a fabric node:

1. Select Network Management Platform > Administration > Fabric > SNMP Manager.

   The SNMP Manager page appears.

2. Click the Add SNMP Manager icon.

   The Add 3rd Party SNMP Manager dialog box is displayed.

3. In the Manager IP field, enter the SNMP manager IP address.
   NOTE:

   • Depending on whether the Junos Space fabric is configured with only IPv4 addresses or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, Junos Space Platform allows you to enter an IPv4 address or either an IPv4 or IPv6 address respectively for the SNMP Manager.

   • The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that you use must be valid addresses. Refer to http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space for the list of restricted IPv4 addresses and http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space for the list of restricted IPv6 addresses.

4. In the Version field, select the SNMP version (V1 or V2c) .
5. In the Community field, enter the community string.

   Any alphanumeric string (up to 254 characters) is acceptable, including spaces and symbols.

6. Click OK.

   The newly added SNMP v1 or v2c Manager is displayed on the SNMP Manager page.

Adding a Third-Party SNMP V3 Manager on a Fabric Node

To add a third-party SNMP V3 manager on a fabric node:

1. Select Platform > Administration > Fabric > SNMP Manager.

   The SNMP Manager page appears.

2. Click the Add icon.

   The Add 3rd Party SNMP Manager dialog box displays.

3. In the Manager IP field, enter the SNMP manager IP address.
   NOTE:

   • Depending on whether the Junos Space fabric is configured with only IPv4 addresses or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, Junos Space Platform allows you to enter an IPv4 address or either an IPv4 or IPv6 address respectively for the SNMP Manager.

   • The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that you use must be valid addresses. Refer to http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space for the list of restricted IPv4 addresses and http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space for the list of restricted IPv6 addresses.

4. In the Version field, select V3.
5. In the User Name field, type the user name.

   The user name can contain a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters including spaces and symbols.

6. In the Authentication Type field, enter the authentication type (MD5 or SHA).
7. In the Authentication Password field, enter the authentication password.

   Click the red information icon next to the Authentication Password field for information on the password rules.

8. In the Confirm Authentication password, enter the authentication password again to confirm the password.
9. From the Security Level list, select the security level:

   • noAuthNoPriv—Do not specify an authentication or privacy password.

   • authNoPriv—Specify only an authentication password.

   • authPriv—Specify both authentication and privacy passwords.

10. In the Privacy Type field, enter the privacy type (AES or DES).
11. In the Privacy Password field, enter the privacy password.

    Click the red information icon next to the Authentication Password field for information on the password rules.

12. In the Confirm Privacy password field, enter the privacy password again to confirm the password.
13. Click OK.

    The newly added SNMP Manager entry is displayed on the SNMP Manager page.

NOTE: The trap settings for the SNMPv3 manager are not automatically updated in Network Monitoring. Therefore, to ensure that the Network Monitoring receives the traps from Junos Space, you must add the same settings manually in the /opt/opennms/etc/trapd-configuration.xml file. Table 7 displays the mapping between the parameters in the /opt/opennms/etc/trapd-configuration.xml file and the fields in the Add 3rd Party SNMP Manager page.

The following is a sample configuration in the /opt/opennms/etc/trapd-configuration.xml file.

Deleting a Third-Party SNMP Manager from a Fabric Node

To delete a third-party SNMP manager configuration from a fabric node:

1. Select Platform > Administration > Fabric > SNMP Manager.

   The SNMP Manager page appears.

2. Select the SNMP manager configuration that you want to remove.
3. Click the Delete SNMP Manager icon.
4. To confirm the deletion of the SNMP manager, click Yes.

   The deleted SNMP manager is removed from the SNMP Manager page.
