SNMPv2 Trap Hosts

After selecting the traps that the ETEP will generate, specify the IP address of the trap hosts that will receive the traps. All of the selected traps are sent to the defined trap hosts. Traps cannot be configured on a per-host basis.

To configure a trap host:

1 Under Trap Hosts, click Add.

2In the Trap Host dialog box, enter the trap host’s IP Address and then click OK. Traps that are enabled on the appliance will be sent to the designated host. Traps are enabled at the appliance level; they cannot be enabled or disabled at the host level.

With ETEP software version 1.6 and later, you can use either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

3To finish configuring trap hosts, do one of the following:

Click Add to add another trap host.

Click Modify to edit the trap host IP address or traps.

Click Delete to remove a trap host.
