 SNMP use a simplest command between Manager and Agent,
using UDP/IP. “connection less”
 Most of communication start by a manager.
 Agent communication is response for manager.

 Viewing Alarms
 Exploring and Using MIB Data
Ch: 10
Ch: 22
 Trap : A specific message that is sent by an SNMP agent to UDP
port 162 (the default) of the NNM management station is called a
trap, or snmptrap. These messages always originate from outside
the NNM process structure. They are received by ovtrapd for
processing into NNM.
 Event : An internal message format resulting from a trap which
has NNM header information added to it, or a message that
occurs between two NNM processes. It indicates an incident of
interest, regardless of the source of the incident.
 Alarm: After an event has been received, processing of the event
occurs. The result of the processing is an alarm. Not all events
result in alarms, but every alarm is the result of one or more
vents.
 When an incident does occur, the involved NNM process or SNMP
agent generates and sends an event to NNM’s pmd process.
Events sent by SNMP agents are called SNMP traps.
 NNM services can request information from outside the
management station. For example, netmon polls the network for
discovery of objects.
 Services can send events to each other. For example, the pmd
service sends alarms to the ovalarmsrv process to display the
alarms in the alarms browser.
 If the event comes from outside the management station, it is
received by ovtrapd.
 ovtrapd sends the event on to the postmaster, pmd.
 pmd sends all events, whether from ovtrapd or another process,
through the Event Correlation System (ECS), where the events
are processed.
 Some of the events may be sent to processes that have
subscribed to them. Other events may be correlated. Sometimes
a new event, or alarm, is generated.
 ovalarmsrv subscribes to all alarm events.
 For example, netmon polls a device to see if it is up and running.
When the device returns an event that says it is up, ovalarmsrv
does not get the event. However, if the device does not respond,
then an alarm results saying the device is unreachable. This
alarm is sent to ovalarmsrv and appears in the alarms browser.
 The ECS system correlates some events.
 For example, netmon continues to poll the device that is not
responding. Each time there is no response, an event occurs.
After the first event, ECS correlates the events. In the alarms
browser, you only see the first event.
 Correlation of events can be turned on or off.
 Action  Alarm Details
 Action  Show Correlated Alarms
 Select node  Alarm
 ECS provides correlations for use with NNM which produce one
of the following actions:
 Pass Through - The event passes through ECS with no change.
 Suppression - The event is suppressed within ECS. This event is
not broadcasted to the NNM process.
 Associated or correlated - The event is correlated with another
event. A parent child relationship is set up with the events.
 New event - A new event is generated as a result of the original
event.
 To change the Alarm Browser size;
 ovalarmsrv:ovalarmsrv:
 OVs_YES_START:pmd:700:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED:120:PAUSE
 By default: 3500 events
 BSE: Binary Event Store
 Log event. By default, incoming events and correlated alarms are
logged to the Binary Event Store. The maximum size of the binary
event store can be changed by modifying pmd.lrf. To increase the
size of the binary event store from the default of 16 MB to 32MB:
 Edit pmd.lrf and add the option shown in the example below:
 pmd:pmd:
 OVs_YES_START_::SOV_EVENT;b32:OVs_WELL_BEHAVED:15:PAUSE:
 cd OV_LRF (on UNIX) or cd %OV_LRF% (on Windows)
 ovaddobj pmd.lrf
 ovstop pmd
 ovstart -c
