SNMP traps

Trap Receivers.

Path: Administration > Notification > SNMP Traps > trap receivers

View trap receivers by NMS IP/Host Name. You can configure up to six trap receivers.

•To configure a new trap receiver, click Add Trap Receiver.

•To modify or delete a trap receiver, first click its IP address or host name to access its settings. (If you delete a trap receiver, all notification settings configured under Event Actions for the deleted trap receiver are set to their default values.)

•To specify the trap type for a trap receiver, select either the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 radio button. For an NMS to receive both types of traps, you must configure two trap receivers for that NMS, one for each trap type.

this trap receiver.

 

 

Authenticate Traps

When this option is enabled (the default), the NMS identified by the NMS IP/Host

 

Name setting will receive authentication traps (traps generated by invalid attempts to

 

log on to this device). To disable that ability, unmark the checkbox.

 

 

 

SNMPv3 option. Select the identifier of the user profile for this trap receiver. (To view the settings of the user profiles identified by the user names selectable here, choose Network on the top menu bar and user profiles under SNMPv3 on the left navigation menu.)

See “SNMPv3” on page 89 for information on creating user profiles and selecting authentication and encryption methods.

SNMP Trap Test

Path: Administration > Notification > SNMP Traps > test

Last Test Result. The result of the most recent SNMP trap test. A successful SNMP trap test verifies only that a trap was sent; it does not verify that the trap was received by the selected trap receiver. A trap test succeeds if all of the following are true:

•The SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) configured for the selected trap receiver is enabled on this device.

•The trap receiver is enabled.

•If a host name is selected for the To address, that host name can be mapped to a valid IP address.

To. Select the IP address or host name to which a test SNMP trap will be sent. If no trap receiver is configured, a link to the Trap Receiver configuration page is displayed.
