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:

ParameterDescription
VSM Collector IP AddressIP address of the VSM Collector at the customers site

Configure the SNMP Community using the following commands:

Code Block
languagetext
Router        # Conf t
Router(config)# snmp-server community {Enter SNMP Value here}virsae RO
Router(Config)# snmp-server locationhost <location>{VSM #ThisCollector commandIP isAddress} optionalversion and may needed only if you want to specify the location.2c virsae
Router(Config)# snmp-server contact <contact info> #This command is optional

...

enable traps
Router(Config)#exit

Use the following commands to verify SNMP V2 Configuration 

Code Block
languagetext
Router (Config)# snmp-server host {Enter VSM Probe IP Address here} 
[traps | informs] version  2c  community-string  [udp-port port-number] [notification-type]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
languagetext
Router        # Conf t
Router(Config)# snmp-server community VirsaeVSMvirsae RO
Router(Config)# snmp-server location BHIVE Auckland host 10.10.10.20 version 2c virsae
Router(Config)# snmp-server contact Virsae Support Teamenable traps
Router (Config) # Exit

Verification output :

Code Block
languagetext
Router    # Show snmp-server host Community

Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps

...

 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:

ParameterValueDescription
View NameVirsaeviewUse Virsaeview by default
Group NameVirsaegroupUse Virsagroup by default
User Name
The SNMP Trap username administered in your VSM equipment location
Authentication ProtocolSHA or MD5The SNMP Trap Authentication protocol administered in your VSM equipment location
Authentication Password
The SNMP Trap Authentication password administered in your VSM equipment location
Privacy ProtocolAES 128, AES 196, AES 256, DESThe 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:

Code Block
languagetext
Router(Config)# snmp-server community VirsaeVSM RO        #  Conf t
Router(Configconfig)# snmp-server location BHIVE Aucklandview <View Name> iso included
Router(Config)# snmp-server contact Virsae Support Team group <Group Name> v3 priv read <View Name>
Router(Config)# snmp-server host 10.10.10.20 version 2c VirsaeVSM user <User Name> <Group Name> v3 auth <Authentication Protocol> <Authentication Password> priv <Privacy Protocol> <Privacy Password>
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart host <VSM Collector IP Address> version 3 priv <User Name>
Router(Config)# exit

Example (View name=Virsaeview, Groupname = Virsaegroup, Username = Virsaesnmp):

Code Block
languagetext
Router(Config)# snmp-server enableview trapsVirsaeview cpuiso thresholdincluded
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps ipsla group Virsaegroup v3 priv read Virsaeview
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps config-copy user Virsaesnmp Virsaegroup v3 auth sha P@ssword123 priv aes 256 P@ssword123
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps license host 192.168.5.180 version 3 priv Virsaesnmp
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps envmon
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps bgp

...

Exit

Use the following commands to verify the SNMP V3 Configuration is correct administered:

Code Block
languagetext
Router(config) # Show snmp-server view {Enter View Name Here}
Router(Config)# snmp-server group <Group Name> v3 [priv|auth|noauth] read <View Name >
Router(Config)# snmp-server user <username> <Group Name> v3 [encrypted] [auth {md5 | sha} auth-password]}
Router(Config)# snmp-server host <Enter VSM Probe IP Address here> version 3 [auth|no auth|priv] <Enter user name here>

The following  demonstrates a sample configuration of SNMP Version 3 with Parameters shown in the following table

...

 user  << This will display configured snmp V3 user
Router # show snmp host  << This should display the configured SNMP host which should match the configured one

Example Verification output :

Code Block
languagetext
Router    # Show snmp user
User name: Virsaesnmp
Engine ID: 800000090300005056BA6363

Voice Quality Metrics (VQM) Configuration


Code Block
languagetext
Router    #Conf t
Router (config)# voice service voip
Router (conf-voi-serv)# callmonitor
Router (conf-voi-serv)# media statistics
Router (conf-voi-serv)# exit

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
languagetext
Router(Config)# snmp-server view virsaelab iso included
Router(Config)# snmp-server group VSMMonitor v3 priv read virsaelab
Router(Config)# snmp-server user VSMUser VSMMonitor v3 auth sha P@ssword123 priv aes 256 P@ssword123

Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps cpu threshold
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps ipsla
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps config-copy
Router(Config)# snmp-server enable traps license

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
languagetext
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


ParameterValue
groupnameName of the server group which contains all the RADIUS Servers being used for AAA operations.
ip-addressThe 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.
