SNMP Traps

If Trap sending function is On, the Telecommuting Module will send messages (traps) to the server(s) entered below whenever an SNMP authentication fails or the Telecommuting Module boots. They are also sent when the status is changed for an IPsec tunnel, and when the Telecommuting Module discovers that a new software version is available.

You can also configure the unit to send traps when certain levels are reached (see Resource Monitoring).

SNMP traps are sent from the IP address closest to the receiving SNMP server. If the Telecommuting Module has been assigned more than one IP address on that network, the address given in the Directly Connected Networks table will be used.

If the trap sending is disabled, no traps will be sent.
