CONFIGURING TRAP RECEIVERS
Trap receivers are network management stations (NMSs) that are designated to receive SNMP
traps (messages) sent by the management card. The management card can send traps to multiple
trap receivers. However, trap receivers are not required to operate the Avidia system.
You configure trap receivers from the ::trap=> prompt. From the ::root=> prompt, type
the following command then press to display the ::trap=> prompt.
configuration snmp trap

Adding Trap Receivers

You can configure up to 32 trap receivers using the command-line interface. From the
::trap=> prompt, type the new command in the following format then press .
new <index> <ipaddr> <subnetmask> <community> (snmpv1|snmpv2c)
Parameters
<index>
The trap receiver table index number that you want to associate with this trap receiver.
<ipaddr>
The IP address of the trap receiver (format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
<subnetmask>
The subnet mask of the trap receiver (format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
<community>
The text string required by the trap receiver to receive traps. If the traps sent by the
management card do not contain this community string, the trap receiver rejects the traps.
The community string public is commonly used for trap receivers.

version 1 or type snmpv2c to specify SNMP version 2c.
