Talkaphone VOIP-500 and VOIP-600 series SNMP Trap Information

Configure SNMP on Talkaphone VOIP-500/VOIP-600 Series IP Call Stations

1.1.1. To be able to use SNMP for monitoring the IP Call Stations remove the /flash/snmpd.conf file on the VOIP-500/VOIP-600 phone. This will allow a new snmpd.conf file to be created at boot time. The boot process will not overwrite an existing /flash/snmpd.conf file.

1. Navigate to the console window
2. rm /flash/snmpd.conf
It will use the community name of “adi” and currently use IP address of “0.0.0.0” to accept SNMP messages regardless of IP address of SNMP network management system, NMS. Changing the “0.0.0.0” to a specific IP address restricts the snmpd daemon to only work with an NMS at that IP address. Using a non-zero IP address would enhance security.

1.1.2. To identify the IP address of the NMS for SNMP

1. VOIP-500/VOIP-600 defaults to IP address of 1st registrar by creating file “/flash/db/snmpd.ip.txt” at boot time if file does not currently exist. If no registrars are defined, then this file is not created automatically. If a different IP address is needed, then execute the following instructions.
2. Navigate to the console window
3. echo '10.10.10.63' >/flash/db/snmpd.ip.txt (where 10.10.10.63 is replaced by IP address of NMS)
4. If this is changed on a running system, currently SNMP must be restarted because it currently cashes this value in RAM. This should be a rare event.

To display what is currently stored in file /flash/db/snmpd.ip.txt run the following command:
1) cat /flash/db/snmpd.ip.txt
2) The file /flash/db/snmpd.ip.txt (if absent) is established as part of booting SNMP version

To stop sending SNMP traps, just remove file /flash/db/snmpd.ip.txt
1) rm /flash/db/snmpd.ip.txt
2) If the phone is rebooted, then SNMP daemon is not started.
The MIB files can be found in the latest firmware download file.
