Configuring for Network Management Applicati ons
Overview
Monitoring and Managing
the Switch
Note Fixed or "Well-Known" Traps: The Switch 4108GL automatically sends fixed
traps (such as "coldStart", "warmStart", "linkDown", and "linkUp") to trap
receivers using a public community name. These traps cannot be redirecte d
to other communities. Thus, if you change or delete the default public com-
munity name, these traps will be lost.
Thresholds: The switch automatically sends all messages resulting from
thresholds to the network management station(s) that set the thresholds,
regardless of the trap receiver configuration.
In the default configuration, there are no trap receivers configured, and the
authentication trap feature is disabled. From th e CLI you can configure up to
ten SNMP trap receivers to receive SNMP traps from the switch. The switch
can be configured to also send event log messages as traps if the following
opotions are used with the snmp-server host command:
