SNMP Alarm Monitoring for Telecom Networks

Overview

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is widely used in telecom networks for alarm monitoring of telecom elements / devices back to a network management system. SNMP operates on a manager-agent model wherein the agent detects alarms and sends back “traps” (change of status) to the SNMP manager. For example, a trap might tell you that a device is receiving a “RED” alarm on a T3/45 Mbps line, or that that the device is “out of service”. When such data is collected from all network elements, a complete picture of the network health is derivable and actionable, reducing MTTR, and increasing the availability.

GL’s products ranging from TDM – OC12 STM4, OC3 STM1, T3 E3, T1 E1, to Ethernet / Packet and ATM provide convenient SNMP traps for widespread monitoring.
