How does the U1900 Series Unified Gateways report alarms to eSight

Hi, all!

Have a nice day!

Today I will share with you how does the U1900 Series Unified Gateways report alarms to eSight.

The U1900 series unified gateways report alarms to eSight using any of the following protocols:

• SSH
  

• Telnet
  

• SNMP V3
  

When SNMPv3 is used for alarm reporting, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Enable SNMP.
   

   config snmp switch enable
   

2. Add the eSight IP address.
   

   config add snmp manager ip <ipAddress>

3. Create an SNMP user group.
   

   config add snmp group name <groupname> securitymode <noauth | authentication | privacy>

4. Create an SNMP user.
   

   config add snmp user name <snmpusername> notifyname <notifyname> targetip <targetip> groupname <groupname> authmode <md5 | sha> authpassword <authpassword> privacymode <des | aes> privacypassword <privacypassword>

   NOTICE: 

• MD5 and DES are insecure encryption algorithms. To avoid risks, secure SHA and AES algorithms are recommended.

• The value of authpassword must be a string of 16 or more characters and privacypassword must be 8-15 characters that contain at least two types of the following: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. In addition, the password must not be a string of repeated sub-strings, for example, ABABABAB, ABCABCABC, and ABCDABCD.

Use the same user name and password on eSight to connect to the U1900 series unified gateways.
