Events

Configuration System Events Classes

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 (NMS) by default. Event messages sent to SNMP systems are called “traps.” The choices are: None, 1, 1-2, 1-3. The default is None; if you choose this range, 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 3002 can send the standard, or “well-known,” SNMP traps listed in Table 9-4. To have an SNMP NMS receive them, you must configure the events as in the table, and configure a trap destination.

Apply/Cancel

To include your settings for default event handling in the active configuration, click Apply. The Manager returns to the Configuration System Events screen.

Reminder:

To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the top of the Manager window.

To discard your settings, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration System Events screen.

Configuration System Events Classes

This section of the Manager lets you add, configure, modify, and delete specific event classes for special handling. You can thus override the general, or default, handling of event classes. For example, you might want to send email for HARDWAREMON events of severity 1-2, whereas default event handling does not send any email.

Event classes denote the source of an event and refer to a specific hardware or software subsystem within the VPN 3002. Table 9-1describes the event classes.
