Configuring the time and date

The System > Configuration > Time tab lets you configure the system time and date of the FortiVoice unit.

You can either manually set the FortiVoice system time or configure the FortiVoice unit to automatically keep its system time correct by synchronizing with Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.

For many features to work, including scheduling, logging, and certificate-dependent features, the FortiVoice system time must be accurate.
FortiVoice units support daylight savings time (DST), including recent changes in the USA, Canada and Western Australia.

To configure the system time

Go to System > Configuration > Time.

Configure the following:

GUI field	Description
System time	Displays the date and time according to the FortiVoice unit’s clock at the time that this tab was loaded, or when you last selected the Refresh button.
Time zone	Select the time zone in which the FortiVoice unit is located. Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving time changes: Enable to adjust the FortiVoice system clock automatically when your time zone changes to daylight savings time (DST) and back to standard time. When selecting time zone in CLI, use the command `config system time manual` and enter the code before the time zone in Time zone codes for CLI configuration {config system time manual}.
Set date	Select this option to manually set the date and time of the FortiVoice unit’s clock, then select the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Second fields before you click Apply. Alternatively, configure Synchronize with NTP server.
Synchronize with NTP Server	Select to use a network time protocol (NTP) server to automatically set the system date and time, then configure Server and Sync Interval. Server: Enter the IP address or domain name of an NTP server. You can add a maximum of 10 NTP servers. The FortiVoice unit uses the first NTP server based on the selection mechanism of the NTP protocol. Click the + sign to add more servers. Click the - sign to remove servers. Note that you cannot remove the last server. To find the NTP servers that you can use, see http://www.ntp.org. Sync Interval: Enter how often, in minutes, the FortiVoice unit should synchronize its time with the NTP server. For example, entering 1440 causes the FortiVoice unit to synchronize its time once a day. Depending on your network traffic, it may take some time for the FortiVoice unit to synchronize its time with the NTP server.

Click Apply.

Configuring SNMP queries and traps

Go to System > Configuration > SNMP to configure SNMP to monitor FortiVoice system events and thresholds, or a high availability (HA) configuration for failover messages.

To monitor FortiVoice system information and receive FortiVoice traps, you must compile Fortinet proprietary MIBs as well as Fortinet-supported standard MIBs into your SNMP manager. RFC support includes support for most of RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and most of RFC 1213 (MIB II). For more information, see FortiVoice MIBs.

The FortiVoice SNMP implementation is read-only. SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 compliant SNMP managers have read-only access to FortiVoice system information and can receive FortiVoice traps.

The FortiVoice SNMP v3 implementation includes support for queries, traps, authentication, and privacy. Before you can use its SNMP queries, you must enable SNMP access on the network interfaces that SNMP managers will use to access the FortiVoice unit. For more information, see Editing network interfaces.

This topic includes:

Configuring an SNMP threshold
Configuring email settings
Configuring an SNMP v3 user

Configuring an SNMP threshold

Configure under what circumstances an event is triggered.

To set SNMP thresholds

Go to System > Configuration > SNMP.

Configure the following:

GUI field		Description
SNMP agent enabled		Enable to activate the FortiVoice SNMP agent. This must be enabled to accept queries from SNMP managers or send traps from the FortiVoice unit.
Description		Enter a descriptive name for the FortiVoice unit.
Location		Enter the location of the FortiVoice unit.
Contact		Enter administrator contact information.
SNMP Threshold		To change a value in the four editable columns, select the value in any row. It becomes editable. Change the value and click outside of the field. A red triangle appears in the field’s corner and remains until you click Apply.
	Trap Type	Displays the type of trap, such as CPU Usage.
	Trigger	You can enter either the percent of the resource in use or the number of times the trigger level must be reached before it is triggered. For example, using the default value, if the mailbox disk is 90% or more full, it will trigger.
	Threshold	Sets the number of triggers that will result in an SNMP trap. For example, if the CPU level exceeds the set trigger percentage once before returning to a lower level, and the threshold is set to more than one, an SNMP trap will not be generated until that minimum number of triggers occurs during the sample period.
	Sample Period(s)	Sets the time period in seconds during which the FortiVoice unit SNMP agent counts the number of triggers that occurred. This value should not be less than the Sample Freq(s) value.
	Sample Freq(s)	Sets the interval in seconds between measurements of the trap condition. You will not receive traps faster than this rate, depending on the selected sample period. This value should be less than the Sample Period(s) value.
Community		Displays the list of SNMP communities (for SNMP v1 and v2c) added to the FortiVoice configuration. For information on configuring a community, see either Configuring email settings or Configuring an SNMP v3 user.

Configuring an SNMP v1 and v2c community

An SNMP community is a grouping of equipment for SNMP-based network administration purposes. You can add up to three SNMP communities so that SNMP managers can connect to the FortiVoice unit to view system information and receive SNMP traps. You can configure each community differently for SNMP traps and to monitor different events. You can add the IP addresses of up to eight SNMP managers to each community.

To configure an SNMP community

Go to System > Configuration > SNMP.
Under Community, click New to add a community or select a community and click Edit.
The SNMP Community page appears.

Configure the following:

GUI field

Description

Name

Enter a name to identify the SNMP community. If you are editing an existing community, you cannot change the name.

You can add up to 16 communities.

Enable

Enable to send traps to and allow queries from the community’s SNMP managers.

Community Hosts

Lists SNMP managers that can use the settings in this SNMP community to monitor the FortiVoice unit. Click Create to create a new entry.

You can add up to 16 hosts.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of an SNMP manager. By default, the IP address is 0.0.0.0, so that any SNMP manager can use this SNMP community.

Create

(button)

Click to add a new default entry to the Hosts list that you can edit as needed.

Delete

(button)

Click to remove this SNMP manager.

Queries

Enter the Port number (161 by default) that the SNMP managers in this community use for SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c queries to receive configuration information from the FortiVoice unit. Mark the Enable check box to activate queries for each SNMP version.

Traps

Enter the Local Port and Remote Port numbers (162 local, 162 remote by default) that the FortiVoice unit uses to send SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c traps to the SNMP managers in this community. Enable traps for each SNMP version that the SNMP managers use.

Enable each SNMP event for which the FortiVoice unit should send traps to the SNMP managers in this community.

Since FortiVoice checks its status in a scheduled interval, not all the events will trigger traps. For example, FortiVoice checks its hardware status every 60 seconds. This means that if the power is off for a few seconds but is back on before the next status check, no system event trap will be sent.

Click Create.

Configuring an SNMP v3 user

SNMP v3 adds more security by using authentication and privacy encryption. You can specify an SNMP v3 user on FortiVoice so that SNMP managers can connect to the FortiVoice unit to view system information and receive SNMP traps.

To configure an SNMP v3 user

Go to System > Configuration > SNMP.
Under User, click New to add a user or select a user and click Edit.
The SNMPv3 User page appears.

You can add up to 16 users.

Configure the following:

GUI field

Description

User name

Enter a name to identify the SNMP user. If you are editing an existing user, you cannot change the name.

Enable

Enable to send traps to and allow queries from the user’s SNMP managers.

Security level

Choose one of the three security levels:

No authentication, no privacy: This option is similar to SNMP v1 and v2.
Authentication, no privacy: This option enables authentication only. The SNMP manager needs to supply a password that matches the password you specify on FortiVoice. You must also specify the authentication protocol (either SHA1 or MD5).
Authentication, privacy: This option enables both authentication and encryption. You must specify the protocols and passwords. Both the protocols and passwords on the SNMP manager and FortiVoice must match.

Authentication Protocol

For Security level, if you select either Authentication option, you must specify the authentication protocol and password. Both the authentication protocol and password on the SNMP manager and FortiVoice must match.

Privacy protocol

For Security level, if you select Privacy, you must specify the encryption protocol and password. Both the encryption protocol and password on the SNMP manager and FortiVoice must match.

Notification Hosts

Lists the SNMP managers that FortiVoice will send traps to. Click Create to create a new entry. You can add up to 16 host.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of an SNMP manager. By default, the IP address is 0.0.0.0, so that any SNMP manager can use this SNMP user.

Create

(button)

Click to add a new default entry to the Hosts list that you can edit as needed.

Delete

(button)

Click to remove this SNMP manager.

Queries

Double click the default port number (161) to enter the Port number that the SNMP managers use for SNMP v3 queries to receive configuration information from the FortiVoice unit. Select the Enable check box to activate queries.

Traps

Double click the default local port (162) and remote port number (162) to enter the Local Port and Remote Port numbers that the FortiVoice unit uses to send SNMP v3 traps to the SNMP managers. Select the Enable check box to activate traps.

Enable each SNMP event for which the FortiVoice unit should send traps to the SNMP managers.

Not all events trigger traps because the FortiVoice unit checks its status at a scheduled interval. For example, FortiVoice checks its hardware status every 60 seconds. This means that if the power is off for a few seconds but is back on before the next status check, no system event trap will be sent.

Click Create.

FortiVoice MIBs

The FortiVoice SNMP agent supports Fortinet proprietary MIBs as well as standard RFC 1213 and RFC 2665 MIBs. RFC support includes support for the parts of RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and the parts of RFC 1213 (MIB II) that apply to FortiVoice unit configuration.

The FortiVoice MIBs are listed in FortiVoice MIBs. You can obtain these MIB files from Fortinet technical support. To communicate with the SNMP agent, you must compile these MIBs into your SNMP manager.

Your SNMP manager may already include standard and private MIBs in a compiled database that is ready to use. You must add the Fortinet proprietary MIB to this database. If the standard MIBs used by the Fortinet SNMP agent are already compiled into your SNMP manager you do not have to compile them again.

FortiVoice MIBs

MIB file name	Description
FortiVoice.mib	Displays the proprietary Fortinet MIB includes detailed FortiVoice system configuration information. Your SNMP manager requires this information to monitor FortiVoice configuration settings. For more information, see MIB fields.

FortiVoice traps

The FortiVoice unit’s SNMP agent can send traps to SNMP managers that you have added to SNMP communities. To receive traps, you must load and compile the FortiVoice trap MIB into the SNMP manager.

All traps sent include the trap message as well as the FortiVoice unit serial number and host name.

MIB fields

Trap	Description
fvTrapStorageDiskHighThreshold	Trap sent if log disk usage and mailbox disk usage become too high.
fvTrapSystemEvent	Trap sent when system shuts down, reboots, upgrades, etc.
fmlTrapHAEvent	Trap sent when an HA event occurs.

The Fortinet MIB contains fields reporting current FortiVoice unit status information. The tables below list the names of the MIB fields and describe the status information available for each. You can view more details about the information available from all Fortinet MIB fields by compiling the MIB file into your SNMP manager and browsing the MIB fields.

System session MIB fields

MIB field	Description
fvSysModel	FortiVoice model number, such as 400 for the FortiVoice-400.
fvSysSerial	FortiVoice unit serial number.
fvSysVersion	The firmware version currently running on the FortiVoice unit.
fvSysCpuUsage	The current CPU usage (%).
fvSysMemUsage	The current memory utilization (%).
fvSysLogDiskUsage	The log disk usage (%).
fvSysStorageDiskUsage	The storage disk usage (%).
fvSysEventCode	System component events.
fvSysload	Current system load.
fvSysHA	fvHAMode: Configured HA operating mode. fvHAEffectiveMoce: Effective HA operating mode.
fmlHAEventId	HA event type ID.
fmlHAUnitIp	Unit IP address where the event occurs.
fmlHAEventReason	The reason for the HA event.

Configuring email settings

You can configure the FortiVoice unit to send email notifications to phone users when they miss a phone call or receive a voicemail or fax.

For phone users to receive the notifications, you need to add their email addresses when configuring the extensions. See Configuring Extensions.

Selecting the call data storage location

The System > Configuration > Storage tab lets you configure local or remote storage of call data such as the recorded calls, faxes, and voice mails.

FortiVoice units can store call data either locally or remotely. FortiVoice units support remote storage by a network attached storage (NAS) server using the network file system (NFS) protocol.

NAS has the benefits of remote storage which include ease of backing up the call data and more flexible storage limits. Additionally, you can still access the call data on the NAS server if your FortiVoice unit loses connectivity.

If the FortiVoice unit is a member of an active-passive HA group, and the HA group stores call data on a remote NAS server, disable call data synchronization to prevent duplicate call data traffic. For details, see Configuring the HA mode and group.

If you store the call data on a remote NAS device, you cannot back up the data. You can only back up the call data stored locally on the FortiVoice hard disk. For information about backing up call data, see Backing up configuration.
