acknowledge,
unacknowledged, and

U2000

02 How Does the NMS Interconnect

to the Alarm SNMP Interface?
STEP 1

The U2000 provides the MIB file of the SNMP interface to the NMS.
The MIB file determines the operations that the NMS can perform on the U2000
and the information that the NMS can obtain from the U2000.
Contact Huawei engineers to obtain the MIB file at http://support.huawei.com.
IMAP_NORTHBOUND_MIB-V1.mib applies to SNMP V1.
IMAP_NORTHBOUND_MIB-V2.mib applies to SNMP V2 and V3.

STEP 2

Confirm that the license of the alarm SNMP interface has been loaded on the
U2000.

(Licenses in the figure are

used as examples only.)

STEP 3

Configure interconnecting information on the U2000 using the OSMU.

The URL address of the OSMU is https://U2000 IP:31123/
Portal for the configuration page: NBI Management > Centralized
Management > Northbound Configuration Parameters Settings
The following part describes only mandatory parameters. For details about
all parameters, see U2000 Northbound Alarm SNMP Interface Developer
Guide.
