Configuration overview

For an IP Availability Manager in a VoIP Availability Manager deployment, an administrator performs the standard configuration tasks presented in the VMware Smart Assurance IP Management Suite Configuration Guide to prepare the IP Availability Manager for SNMP discovery. The administrator also performs the following additional configuration tasks to prepare IP Availability Manager for operation in a VoIP Availability Manager deployment:

• Customize VoIP-related device-matching filters (optional)

  This chapter provides the instructions for completing this task.

• Exclude Avaya virtual IP addresses and Nortel node IP addresses from the discovered topology (mandatory if managed environment contains Avaya or Nortel devices)

  The VMware Smart Assurance Enablement Pack for Avaya User Guide and the VMware Smart Assurance Enablement Pack for Nortel User Guide provide instructions for completing this task.

• Configure SNMP trap integration to distribute network traps to IP Availability Manager (mandatory if managed environment contains Avaya or Nortel devices)

  Chapter 6, Configuring the SNMP Trap Integration, provides the instructions for completing this task.
