Testing Notifications with SNMP Queries

Test the configuration of the Unwired Platform SNMP plug-in for Sybase Control Center by using a management information base (MIB) browser tool to execute an SNMP query.

Prerequisites
Install a third-party MIB browser tool.
Task
  1. Load <UnwiredPlatformInstall>\<SCC-XX>\plugins\com.sybase.supsnmpplugin_1.5.2\SYBASE-SUP-MIB.txt as a module into your MIB browser.
  2. Configure the MIB browser settings to use an SNMPv3 information module with the parameters specified in the <UnwiredPlatformInstall>\<SCC-XX>\services\Snmp\service-config.xml file:
    Property name Description Default value
    snmp.transport.mappings SNMP agent host/port UDP (0.0.0.0/1498)

    The host "0.0.0.0" represents the local host. Changing this value to a different IP or host name causes the service to fail, since the SNMP service functions only on the local host.

    The default port number is 1498. You can set a different port for SNMP queries, however, you must ensure that it is not occupied by another SNMP agent.
    snmp.usm.user User name snmpadmin
    snmp.auth.passphrase Auth password Sybase4me
  3. In the MIB browser, set the Auth Protocol to SHA and the Security Level to Auth,NoPriv.
  4. In the object identifier tree of the MIB browser, navigate to SYBASE-MIB\enterprises\sybase\sup\supObjects\supStatusTable\supStatusEntry and select get SNMP variable.
    Unwired Server status information appears in the data console.
