Configuring SNMP Traps

The SG appliance can send SNMP traps to a management station as they occur. By default, all system-level traps are sent to the address specified. You can also enable authorization traps to send notification of attempts to access the Management Console. Also, if the system crashes for whatever reason, a cold start SNMP trap is issued on power up. No configuration is required.

Note: The SNMP trap for CPU utilization is sent only if the CPU continues to stay up for 32 or more seconds.

To enable SNMP traps:

Note: You cannot configure SNMP traps to go out through a particular interface. The interface that is configured first is used until it fails and is used to identify the device.

1.Select Maintenance > SNMP > Traps.

2.In the Send traps to fields, enter the IP address(es) of the workstation(s) where traps are to be sent.

3.To receive authorization traps, select Enable authorization traps.

4.Select Apply to commit the changes to the SG appliance.
