Configuring, Modifying, and Monitoring the Unit

SNMP Traps

Traps are notices that the switch sends to an SNMP manager indicating that a specific event has occurred, or that the condition of a unit has changed significantly. SNMP Traps are disabled by default.

NOTE: Trap messages do not provide an entirely reliable event notification mechanism; they can get dropped, and are not acknowledged or retransmitted once dropped.

When the Switch detects an extraordinary event, it generates a trap. A trap is a notification message that may be sent to predefine Network Management Stations. A trap event may be a reset (cold or warm), detection of an interface link status change, an SNMP authentication failure due to an incorrect community string, and so.

The SNMP trap commands let you manage whether or not the device issues an authentication trap to the list of selected SNMP Management Stations. The list has a maximum of five entries.

get-auth

Setting Authentication Traps

Authentication Failures – This trap is generated whenever a login attempt fails during the authentication process on a management port.

Viewing the Authentication Trap Status

get-auth

Example

SYS_console>get-auth

The authentication trap messages are enabled

SYS_console>

Setting the Authentication Trap

set-auth {enabledisable}

Example

SYS_telnet>set-auth disable

The authentication trap message mode change OK

The authentication trap messages are DISABLED
