Flushing Trap Destinations

When flushing the SNMP trap reporting destinations, you remove all trap destination address information for the SNMP agent.

To flush all SNMP trap reporting destinations:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

snmp trap flush

You receive the following prompt:

Are you sure? (n/y) [y]:

2Enter y (yes) or n (no) at the prompt.

If you enter y, the addresses are immediately flushed. If you enter n, you return to the previous menu.

Setting Up SMT Event Proxying

FDDI SMT events, which occur on the FDDI ring, can be reported to stations through the Status Report Protocol. Several SNMP traps, defined in the LANplex Optional FDDI MIB, correspond to some of these events and conditions. If you want your Switch 2200 to report remote SMT events as SNMP traps, you must enable proxying of remote SMT events in that Switch 2200 system.

Local SMT events are automatically reported by the SNMP agent in a Switch 2200 system.

If you have a single Switch 2200 on your network and you have no other way to access FDDI information, then you should enable proxying of SMT events. This configuration provides access to the events occurring locally on the Switch 2200 and to those reported by other stations on the FDDI ring.

If you have multiple Switch 2200s on your FDDI network all reporting to the same SNMP management station, then you can do one of the following:

On only one Switch 2200, 1) enable local SNMP traps as described in the “Configuring Trap Reporting” on page 3-17 and 2) enable proxying

of remote SMT events. On all other Switch 2200s in your network,

1) disable proxying of remote SMT events and 2) enable only SNMP traps that are not SMT-related. SMT-related traps include all of those in the LANplex Optional FDDI MIB. This configuration provides access to the events
