7.5.3 Send SNMP trap alerts

The Administrator can configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent that resides on the console server to send SNMP trap alerts to an NMS management application:

Select Alerts & Logging: SNMP

Enter the SNMP transport protocol. SNMP is generally a UDP-based protocol, though infrequently, it uses TCP instead.

Enter the IP address of the SNMP Manager and the Port to use for connecting (default = 162)

Select the version being used. The console server SNMP agent supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3.

Enter the Community name for SNMP v1 or 2c. An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where information is sent. SNMP default communities are private for Write (and public for Read).

To configure for SNMP v3, you will need to enter an ID and authentication password and contact information for the local Administrator (in the Security Name).

Click Apply to activate SNMP.
