10-8 VPN 3000 Concentrator Series User Guide
Severity to Console
Click the drop-down menu button and select the range of event severity levels to display on the console
by default. Choices are: None, 1, 1-2, 1-3, ..., 1-13. The default is 1-3: all events of severity level 1 through
severity level 3 are displayed on the console.
Severity to Syslog
Click the drop-down menu button and select the range of event severity levels to send to a UNIX syslog
server by default. Choices are: None, 1, 1-2, 1-3, ..., 1-6. The default is None: no events are sent to a syslog
server.
If you select any severity levels to send, you must also configure the syslog server(s) on the Configuration
| System | Events | Syslog Servers screens.
Severity to Email
Click the drop-down menu button and select the range of event severity levels to email to recipients by
default. Choices are: None, 1, 1-2, 1-3. The default is None: no events are sent via email.
If you select any severity levels to email, you must also configure an SMTP server on the Configuration |
System | Events | SMTP Servers screens, and you must configure email recipients on the Configuration |
System | Events | Email Recipients screens. You should also configure the Email Source Address above.
Severity to Trap
Click the drop-down menu button and select the range of event severity levels to send to an SNMP
network management system by default. Event messages sent to SNMP systems are called “traps.”
Choices are: None, 1, 1-2, 1-3. The default is None: no events are sent as SNMP traps.
If you select any severity levels to send, you must also configure SNMP destination system parameters
on the Configuration | System | Events | Trap Destinations screens.
The VPN Concentrator can send the standard, or “well-known,” SNMP traps listed in Table 10-3. To
have an SNMP NMS receive them, you must configure the events as in the table, and configure a trap
destination.
