How To Define Trap Receivers

You can define trap receivers as follows:

•Each Management Card or other APC hardware device can send traps to up to six trap receivers, but you can define only four through the APC PowerNet MIB. You can define the other two through the user interface of the Management Card or device.

•Each PowerNet agent can send traps to up to four trap receivers.

•You can define only SNMPv1 trap receivers through the APC PowerNet MIB. To define SNMPv3 trap receivers, use the interface of the Management Card or device that will send the traps, if it supports SNMPv3.

In a MIB browser, select, in order, these OID categories to access the PowerNet MIB OIDs that you use to define a trap receiver:

•[apc]

•[apcmgmt]

•[mconfig]

OID	Task
mconfigNumTrapReceivers	The number of NMSs to receive traps (always 4).
{mconfigTrapReceiverTable}	A tabled set of OIDs to define parameters for each trap
[mconfigTrapReceiverEntry]	receiver:
trapIndex	• The trap receiver’s number (i.e., the read-only index to
receiverAddr	the trap receiver entry).
	• The NMS’s IP address. The default value, 0.0.0.0,
communityString	prevents all NMSs from receiving traps.
	• The password (community name) that a trap must use
severity	to be sent to this trap receiver.
	• This OID is obsolete and always returns zero.
acceptThisReceiver	• Enables or disables sending traps to this NMS.
	• yes (1): Enable
receiveTrapType	• no (2): Disable
	• The type of traps that this NMS will receive. You must
	use powernet (1).
