Configuration Chapter 1 Cisco SRST SNMP MIB Support Licenses The following licences are required for SRST operation: • A base SRST feature license • A phone seat license for each phone Depending on the platform used, the maximum number of ePhone licenses supported ranges from 24 to 240. Configuration To configure the SRST/CCME MIB feature, you should understanding the following concept. Using SNMP and MIBs to Extract CISCO-SRST-MIB Information SNMP has historically been used to collect network information. SNMP permits retrieval of critical information from network elements such as routers, switches, and workstations. The CISCO-SRST-MIB feature uses SNMP to gather remote site status information. The CISCO-SRST-MIB feature allows remote site status data for the managed devices on your system to be retrieved by SNMP. You can specify retrieval of CISCO-SRST-MIB information from a managed device (for example, a router) either by entering commands on that managed device or by entering SNMP commands from the NMS workstation to configure the router by the MIB. If the CISCO-SRST-MIB information is configured from the network management system (NMS) workstation, no access to the router is required and all configuration can be performed by SNMP. The CISCO-SRST-MIB request for information is sent from an NMS workstation by SNMP to the router and is retrieved from the router. This information can then be stored or viewed, thus allowing CISCO-SRST-MIB information to be easily accessed and transported across a multivendor programming environment. How to Configure the CISCO-SRST-MIB This section contains the following procedures: • Enabling the SNMP Agent, page 1-14 (required) • Verifying the Enabling of the SNMP Agent, page 1-15 (optional) Enabling the SNMP Agent The SNMP Agent for the SRST/CCME MIB is disabled by default. To enable the SNMP agent for the CISCO-SRST-MIB, perform the following steps: Step 1 Command or Action Prompt# telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Step 2 Router# enable Purpose Telnets to the router identified by the specified IP address (represented as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Enters the enable mode. 1-14 Cisco SRST SNMP MIB Release 3.4 Guide OL-7959-01
