CUBE SNMP Configuration
...
CUBE SNMP Configuration
There are two options for SNMP monitoring of the CUBE, SNMP Version 2c and SNMP version 3. SNMP Version 3 is more secure and is the preferred method.
SNMP Version 2 option
To configure SNMP V2c monitoring of the CUBE you will need the following:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| VSM Collector IP Address | IP address of the VSM Collector at the customers site |
Configure the SNMP Community using the following commands:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Router # Conf t
Router(config)# snmp-server community virsae RO
Router(Config)# snmp-server host {VSM Collector IP Address} version 2c virsae
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps
Router(Config)#exit
|
Use the following commands to verify SNMP V2 Configuration
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Router # Show snmp community << This will display configured community string
Router # show snmp host << This should display the configured SNMP host which should match the configured one |
The following example demonstrates a sample configuration of SNMP Version 2 with option to enable all traps
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Router # Conf t Router(configConfig)# snmp-server community {Enter SNMP Value here} RO virsae RO Router(Config)# snmp-server host 10.10.10.20 version 2c virsae Router(Config)# snmp-server location <location> #This command is optional and may needed only if you want to specify the location. Router(Config)# snmp-server contact <contact info> #This command is optional enable traps Router (Config) # Exit |
Verification output :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

Router # Show snmp Community
Community name: virsae
Community Index: virsae
Community SecurityName: virsae
storage-type: nonvolatile active
Router # Show snmp host
Notification host: 10.10.10.20 udp-port: 162 type: trap user: virsae security model: v2c |
SNMP Version 3 option
To configure SNMP v3 monitoring of the CUBE you will need the following:
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| View Name | Virsaeview | Use Virsaeview by default |
| Group Name | Virsaegroup | Use Virsagroup by default |
| User Name | The SNMP Trap username administered in your VSM equipment location | |
| Authentication Protocol | SHA or MD5 | The SNMP Trap Authentication protocol administered in your VSM equipment location |
| Authentication Password | The SNMP Trap Authentication password administered in your VSM equipment location | |
| Privacy Protocol | AES 128, AES 196, AES 256, DES | The SNMP Trap privacy protocol administered in your VSM equipment location |
Privacy Password | The SNMP Trap privacy password administered in your VSM equipment location | |
| VSM Collector IP Address | The IP address of the VSM Collector |
The SNMP Trap configuration in VSM is documented here SNMP Configuration
Configure the SNMP V3 using the following commands:Configure VSM probe as SNMP Host.

RADIUS Accounting Configuration
There are two possible options for configuring RADIUS accounting
1- VSM is the only RADIUS Server to be configured on Cisco CUBE
2- VSM is not the only RADIUS Server , There is an existing RADIUS Server Set up on Cisco CUBE for AAA Operation
Single RADIUS Server Option (VSM Only)
Perform the following steps to configure CUBE as Radius client to send accounting information to VSM
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Router #Conf t
Router (config)# aaa new-model
Router (config)# radius server VSM
Router (config-radius-server)# address ipv4 <VSM Probe IP Address> auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
Router (config-radius-server)# key <shared secret - this key to be used in VSM Web Portal>
Router (config-radius-server)# exit
Router (config)# aaa group server radius VSMradiusgroup
Router (config-sg-radius)#server name VSM
Router (config-sg-radius)#ip radius source-interface <Enter Interface Name that will be used to send CDR information to VSM>
Router (config-sg-radius)#exit
Router (config)#aaa accounting connection h323 start-stop group VSMradiusgroup
Router (config)#gw-accounting aaa
Router (config-gw-accounting-aaa)# acct-template callhistory-detail
Router (config-gw-accounting-aaa)# exit
Router (config)# radius-server vsa send accounting
Router (config)# exit
|
Multiple RADIUS Servers option
If Cisco CUBE has already been configured to use other Radius server for AAA operations make sure that this server is placed in another server group by using the following commands .
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Router #Conf t
Router (config)# aaa group server radius <groupname>
Router (config-sg-radius)# server <ip-address > auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
Router (config-sg-radius)# exit
Router (config)# aaa authentication login default group <groupname> local
Router (config)# aaa authorization exec default group <groupname> none
Router (config)# aaa accounting exec default start-stop group <groupname>
Router (config)# radius-server host <ip-address> auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key <shared-secret>
Router (config)# exit
|
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| groupname | Name of the server group which contains all the RADIUS Servers being used for AAA operations. |
| ip-address | The IP address of the RADIUS Server group being used for AAA operations |
| <shared-secret> | Secret Key used to authenticate with the RADIUS Server |
Follow the steps mentioned in Single RADIUS Server option to send call accounting details to VSM.
CUBE Syslog Configuration
Enter the IP Address of the VSM Probe as the destination for the log files.
| Tip |
|---|
Syslog files have logging based on the client's logging configuration. |
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Router(Config)# logging host (Enter VSM ProbCollector IP Address) Router(Config)# logging traps (i.e 0 1 2 3 4 5 .. according to your requirement) |
Once complete you can move onto the VSM Web Portal Configuration
Web Portal Configuration
Add CUBE
Log in to the VSM web portal using your VSM credentials and password.
