SNMP traps
Trap Receivers.
Path: Administration > Notification > SNMP Traps > trap receivers
View trap receivers by NMS IP/Host Name. You can configure up to six trap receivers.
•To open the page for configuring a new trap receiver, click Add Trap Receiver.
•To modify or delete a trap receiver, first click its IP address or host name to access its settings. (If you delete a trap receiver, all notification settings configured under Event Actions for the deleted trap receiver are set to their default values.)
•To specify the trap type for a trap receiver, select either the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 radio button. For an NMS to receive both types of traps, you must configure two trap receivers for that NMS, one for each trap type.

SNMP Trap Test
Path: Administration > Notification > SNMP Traps > test
Last Test Result. The result of the most recent SNMP trap test. A successful SNMP trap test verifies only that a trap was sent; it does not verify that the trap was received by the selected trap receiver. A trap test succeeds if all of the following are true:
•The SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) configured for the selected trap receiver is enabled on this device.
•The trap receiver is enabled.
•If a host name is selected for the To address, that host name can be mapped to a valid IP address.
