Configuration | System | Events | Trap Destinations
This section of the Manager lets you configure SNMP network management systems as destinations of
event traps. Event messages sent to SNMP systems are called “traps.” If you configure any event
handling—default or special—with values in Severity to Trap fields, you must configure trap destinations
in this section.
To configure default event handling, click the highlighted link that says “Click here to configure general
event parameters.” To configure special event handling, see the Configuration | System | Events | Classes
screens.
To configure “well-known” SNMP traps, see Table 10-3 under Severity to Trap for Configuration | System
| Events | General.
To have an SNMP-based network management system (NMS) receive any events, you must also
configure the NMS to “see” the VPN Concentrator as a managed device or “agent” in the NMS domain.

Trap Destinations

The Trap Destinations list shows the SNMP network management systems that have been configured as
destinations for event trap messages, and the SNMP protocol version associated with each destination.
If no trap destinations have been configured, the list shows --Empty--.
