SNMP Traps Screen

Trap Community Name (Modifiable)

Displays the Community Name included in the trap message sent to the Network Management Station with the associated IP address.

Enable Traps (Toggle)

Enables transmission of the traps to the network management station with the associated IP address. This field toggles between YES and NO.

5.17.1 Configuring the Trap Table

To configure the Trap table, proceed as follows:

1.Using the arrow keys, highlight the appropriate Trap Destination field.

2.Enter the IP Address of the workstation that is to receive traps. IP address entries must follow the DDN format.

For example: 134.141.79.121

3.Press ENTER. If an invalid entry is made, “INVALID IP ENTERED” is displayed in the Event Message Line.

4.Using the arrow keys, highlight the Trap Community Name field. Enter the community name.

5.Press ENTER.

6.Using the arrow keys, highlight the Enable Traps field. Press the SPACE bar to choose either YES (send alarms from the module to the workstation), or NO (prevent alarms from being sent).

7.Using the arrow keys, highlight the SAVE option and press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

NOTE

Exiting without saving causes a “NOT SAVED -- PRESS SAVE TO KEEP CHANGES” message to display in the top left portion of the screen. Edits will be lost if they are not saved before exiting.

The designated workstations now receive traps from the 6H12X-08.

6H129-08, 6H128-08 specifications

Cabletron Systems was a notable provider of networking hardware in the 1990s, specializing in solutions that enabled enterprises to build robust and scalable networks. Among their product offerings were the models 6H128-08 and 6H129-08, which were designed to meet the needs of demanding networking environments.

The 6H128-08 is an Ethernet hub that supports up to 128 ports. This model is particularly recognized for its reliability and performance in connecting numerous devices within a local area network. One of the main features of the 6H128-08 is its support for both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet standards, allowing it to handle varying data transmission speeds and ensuring compatibility with older and newer devices. This dual support features made it particularly appealing for businesses transitioning from older network technologies to faster Ethernet connections.

In terms of technology, the 6H128-08 leverages a centralized architecture which reduces network collision domains. This design contributes to improved network performance by allowing simultaneous data transmission from multiple devices. The hub features a range of LEDs that provide real-time status updates on port connectivity and data transmission activity. This allows network administrators to easily monitor and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

The 6H129-08 is often paired with the 6H128-08, functioning effectively as an additional port expander or in cascading configurations. This model also supports 128 ports and offers identical compatibility with the Ethernet standards mentioned, ensuring seamless integration in larger network setups. An important characteristic of the 6H129-08 is its enhanced fault tolerance, which is vital in mission-critical environments where network downtime must be minimized.

Both models are equipped with various management features, enabling network administrators to configure settings and optimize performance easily. The ability to use SNMP for network management supports monitoring and managing the entire network from centralized software applications.
