4.5.1Configuring the Trap Table

To configure the Trap table, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate Trap Destination field.

2.Enter the IP address of the workstation that is to receive traps. IP address entries must follow the DDN format.

For example: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

3.Press ENTER. If an invalid entry is entered, the message “INVALID IP ENTERED” displays in the Event Message Line.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Trap Community Name field. Enter the community name.

5.Press ENTER.

6.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Enable Traps field. Press the SPACE bar to choose either YES (send alarms from the device to the workstation), or NO (prevent alarms from being sent).

7.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command and press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays on the screen.

NOTE: Exiting without saving causes a “NOTSAVED?” message to appear above the SAVE command. Edits are lost if they are not saved before exiting.

The designated workstations will now receive traps from the device as long as the communication path to the designated workstations is not inhibited (for example, by subnets or VLANs).
