Trap Receivers

Trap Receivers

From the switch console only you can configure up to ten IP management stations (trap receivers) to receive SNMP trap packets sent from the switch. Trap packets describe specific event types. (These events are the same as the log messages displayed in the event log.) The Address and Community define which management stations receive the traps.

If the Send Authentication Traps field is set to Yes, an authentication trap is sent to the addresses on the screen if any management station attempts an unauthorized access of the switch. Check the event log to help determine why the authentication trap was sent. (Refer to “Using the Event Log To Identify Problem Sources” on page 8-6.)

To configuring Trap Receivers from the switch console, follow these steps:
