Enabling Trap Receive

The Advanced version of EMM software provides you with the ability to set the EMM as a trap receiver. As a trap receiver, the EMM receives traps from other SNMP devices that have the EMM's IP address in their community table.

Use the following command to enable an EMM to function as the trap receiver for other SNMP devices on the network.

ONline> set device trap_receive enable [ENTER]

Note: You must add the EMM's IP Address to a device's community table in order for that device to be able to send traps to the EMM.

Configuring Modules and Ports

This section describes how to assign the EMM and media modules to an Ethernet network and how to configure ports. Also discussed is the importance of setting the appropriate mastership priority level for your EMM. Appendix B of the ONline System Concentrator Installation and Operation Guide provides a chart to record the values you set for modules in your concentrator.

Assigning Module Networks

Modules assigned to the same network form a segment. Modules assigned to different networks cannot communicate with each other unless the networks are bridged. All ONline modules, except the Fault-Tolerant Controller Module and the Token Ring MAU Module can be assigned to a network. The Controller Module does not require a network assignment as it only connects to the control bus and the Token Ring MAU Module is connected through its trunk or Ring In/Ring Out ports.
