Step 5. Click Add New Community.

Step 6. In the dialog box, under Community Information, provide a community name.

Step 7. Select the SNMP version by selecting the radio box for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c.

You can enter one or more IP addresses in the IP Address field (containing “dots”) and click Insert to

enable access solely for this community from the NMS with the IP address provided.

Step 8. Click Save.

The community name appears in the Configured Communities section at the top of the dialog box.

Note:

You can remove the community name by highlighting the name in the Configured Communities section,

Cisco Unified Communications Manager

The following configuration options on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager need to be configured for

Operations Manager to discover and manage the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Failure to do so may

result in incomplete monitoring of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and cause some features in

Operations Manager to behave inconsistently.

HTTP Credentials

Operations Manager uses the AVVID XML Layer (AXL) API in addition to SNMP to manage Cisco Unified

Communications Manager. This means that Operations Manager will make Simple Object Access Protocol

(SOAP) calls over HTTP through the AXL interface to collect fault and performance information from the Cisco

Unified Communications Manager. Operations Manager needs an HTTP username/password to execute these

queries.

When you add or discover a Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unified Presence Server with

Operations Manager, you must supply a username/password or that Cisco Unified Communications Manager will

enter the partially monitored state (see the “Device Discovery Process” section). The username/password need

not be administrator credentials. Any set of credentials with read-level access that will get authorized for the URL

(

http://server-name/ccmadmin

) will suffice.

HTTPS Configuration and Security Certificates

Cisco Unified Communications Manager 4.1 or later supports enabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on virtual

directories. If you intend to secure the communication between Operations Manager and Cisco Unified

Communications Manager, you will need to enable SSL on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and

specifically certain virtual directories.

●

CCMApi: Operations Manager uses services in this virtual directory to perform AXL/SOAP database

queries.

●

SOAP: Operations Manager uses services in this virtual directory to perform AXL/SOAP device queries.

Note:

SSL is not enabled on the CCMApi and Soap virtual directories, by default. For information on enabling

SSL (using Windows Internet Information Services [IIS]), see Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security

Guide for the appropriate release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Also see the “Using Device

Manager” chapter in User Guide for Cisco Unified Operations Manager.
