with your managed appliances by accessing MIB-II (Management Information Base) and the
public portion of the enterprise MIB. MIB-II is a standard MIB that many SNMP target devices
support. The managed appliances will send their traps directly to the external SNMP manager in
addition to sending it to the server.
The following settings appear under SNMP in the side navigation bar:
• System - Enables/disables SNMP. When you enable SNMP, the managed appliance will log
SNMP received messages over UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port 161. UDP port 162 is used
to listen for incoming traps.
• Managers - Stations that can manage the managed appliance.
• Community - Communities to which the traps belong.
• Destinations - Stations that can receive SNMP traps.
• Traps - Available traps and enabled/disabled traps.
The traps must be also configured on each managed appliance using the Command Line Interface
(CLI). The address of the server running the DSView 3 software must be configured as a trap
recipient, the proper community must be set and each desired trap must be enabled.
SNMP traps are logged in the event log file. See Displaying the Event Log on page 313. SNMP
traps may also be configured from a system task. See Task: Configure SNMP trap settings on a
managed appliance on page 296.
