Setting the SNMP Trap Destination

Each management workstation designated to receive SNMP traps from the HSIM-W6 must have a valid IP address and community name. To set and enable SNMP trap destination, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Trap Destination field that you want to modify.

2.Type the IP address of the management workstation designated to receive SNMP traps from the HSIM-W6. This address must be entered in DDN format.

For example: 134.141.25.17

3.Press ENTER. If the IP address entered was a valid format, the cursor returns to the beginning of the Trap Destination IP address field. If the entry was not valid, the Event Message field displays “INVALID IP ADDRESS OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value and refreshes the Trap Destination IP address field with the previous value.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Trap Community Name field (on the same row as the Trap Destination field).

5.Type in the maximum access level of the SNMP traps that you want sent to the management station.

6.Press ENTER.

7.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Enable Traps field (on the same row as the Trap Destination and Trap Community Name you have just configured). The default setting for this field is NO.

8.Press SPACE or BACKSPACE to set the field to YES.

9.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field.

10.Press ENTER. The Event Message field at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”.

11.Repeat this procedure as necessary to set each Trap Destination.
