Disabling/Enabling Authentication Failure Traps
An SNMP entity has the ability to issue an Authentication Failure Trap when
another SNMP entity attempts to perform an administrative action without the
proper community name authorization—for example, when an SNMP network
manager attempts a SET without a valid community name. The Authentication
Failure Traps Enabled/Disabled button indicates whether the device is currently
configured to issue these traps, and will let you change the device’s configuration
with respect to issuing these traps. If you toggle this button, your new selection
will override the current configuration for the device, and it will remain in the
device’s nonvolatile memory so that the setting remains constant between
reinitializations of network management systems.
The current trap setting at the device is displayed on the button as follows:
Enabled indicates traps are currently being issued at authentication failure;
Disabled indicates they are not being issued.
To toggle the authentication-failure traps between an Enabled and Disabled state:
1. Click on the Enabled/Disabled command button. A window opens requiring
you to confirm the action. Click OK; a message displays notifying you of the
success of the set action.
NOTE
In order for your device to issue any traps—and in order for your management
workstation to receive those traps—your SNMP device’s trap table must have been
properly configured via Local Management or the Remote Administration Tools
application; refer to the hardware documentation or the Remote Administration Tools
User’s Guide for more information. In addition, refer to the Alarm and Event
Handling User’s Guide for more information on the alarm logging facility.
