Enabling Back-end Server Traps

77

Enabling Back-end

Back-end server traps can be enabled and disabled at the 3COM SNMP

Server Traps

Agent level.

 

Alarm notification requires two components: a device (the 3Com VCX IP

 

Telephony Server) to send traps and a device (an alarm server) to receive

 

them and alert the network manager. Traps are sent over the Simple

 

Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which runs on the User

 

Datagram Protocol / Internet Protocol (UDP/IP).

 

First, use Enterprise Management Suite to tell the 3Com VCX IP

 

Telephony Server where to send traps. Then use Enterprise Management

 

Suite to enable the traps. Finally, start the trap generation.
