Configuring SNMP 17-5
Address
is an IP address to which all trap s meeting the "enabled" and severity class criter ia will
be sent.
Enabled
determines whether or n ot traps meeting the sev erity class criterion will be sent to the
specified address.
Severity
determines the lowest severity-level traps (events) that will be sent to the specified
address. (1 is th e highest.) Fo r example, if 3 is specified, tr aps of severity levels 1, 2,
and 3 will be sent (assuming the menu item is enabled).
There are four levels of severity:
●Level 1 = Serious f ault. This is a serious error and imm ediate action is requ ired.
●Level 2 = Major fault/link alarm. Link alarms 400–406 are at this level simply
to show importance; for any other events, take action as soon as possible.
●Level 3= Minor fault/traffic disturbance. Clear the fault at the first suitable
occasion.
●Level 4 = Configura tion error/informational event. Depending on the ev ent, no
action may be necessary and, if so, correcting the configuration of certain
datab as e param eters m ay be a de quat e .
Event messages and their severity levels are listed in Chapter 22 .
