Alarm/Trap for Power Supply Status

[wraith]

I have been digging through Avaya's documentation and related MIBs looking for something that will let me monitor the status of the power supply.  I have some 5500 switches with dual redundant supplies and some 4500s with single supplies.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi wraith and welcome to the forums!

I'll probably need to look that one up myself but here is the trap for the ERS 8600 switches;


EVENT rcnChasPowerSupplyDown .1.3.6.1.4.1.2272.1.21.0.6 "Status Alarms" Major
FORMAT Chassis power supply down


Cheers!

For fast search OID you may use JDM and Wireshark. Run Wireshark, apply filter "SNMP" and request necessary parameter from JDM. You must see packet with nessesary parameter and OID in wireshark.

I would try walking through the S5-CHASSIS-MIB (top is OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.45.1.6.3 if I'm not mistaken) this should give you information about any RPS's you have installed. (more information at http://www.oidview.com/mibs/45/S5-CHASSIS-MIB.html and it's probably advisable to consult the actual S5-CHASSIS-MIB.mib from the specific switch and firmware to know how to interpret the values).

I went through the S5-CHASSIS-MIB but the only references to the power supply are informational (PS type, how PS is to be used, etc.).  The rcnChasPowerSupplyDown event in the RAPID-CITY mib is not supported by the 5500s (I believe, it's not in the mib I got for the 5500s, incidentally from your blog post Michael).  I will have to grab the JDM and try to dig through the OID that way in the hopes of discovering a different MIB that might contain that information.

I guess it would be covered by the s5CtrProblem, in the S5-CHASSIS-TRAP mib, which is apparently triggered anytime "AC power fails or is restored" (5500 Configuration - Security document from Avaya).  Anyone have experience with that trap?

Thanks.

Here are the traps that I recieved when I remove the RPSU from a running stack of ERS 5530s (v6.1.5 software);

BAY-STACK-NOTIFICATIONS-MIB::bsnNotifications
S5-ROOT-MIB::s5ChaTrap

It was the s5ChaTrap that included additional OIDs and variables indicating that a "Redundant Power Supply" failure.

Good Luck!

Hi,

Did anyone get anywhere this this ?

From what I can see from browsing the MIB on the 55xx that the PSU portion isn't supported.

I get as far as : 1.3.6.1.4.45.1.6.3 and then I only have options for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5....not 9 !
