Configuring Trap Generation Status
94 Avidia System Configuration and Management User Manual
CONFIGURING TRAP GENERATION STATUS
Traps are messages sent from the management card regarding system events, such as alarms.
The Avidia system distinguishes between two types of traps. Agent authentication traps are
generated when the system receives an invalid SNMP community string. (See “Configuring
Community Strings” on page97 for more information on community strings.) General traps are
generated in response to system events such as alarms and configuration changes. You must
specify whether or not you want the system to generate each type of trap.
You configure trap generation status from the ::system=> prompt. From the ::root=>
prompt, type the following command then press to display the ::system=> prompt.
