7.5 Configuring SNMP Trap Receivers

Refer to the Trap Receivers screen to review the attributes of existing SNMP trap receivers (including destination address, port, community, retry count, timeout and trap version). A new v2c or v3 trap receiver can be added to the existing list by clicking the Add button.

To configure the attributes of SNMP trap receivers:

1.Select Management Access > SNMP Trap Receivers from the main menu tree.

2. Refer to the following SNMP trap receiver data to assess whether modifications are required.

Destination Address

Port

Community

Retry Count

Timeout

Trap Version

The Destination Address defines the numerical (non DNS name) destination IP address for receiving the traps sent by the SNMP agent.

The Port specifies a destination User Datagram Protocol receiving traps.

Enter a Community name specific to the SNMP-capable client that receives the traps. The community name is public.

The Retry Count specifies the maximum number of retries attempted (to reach the destination address) before the session times out.

The Timeout value specifies the time (in seconds) for the retransmission of packets. If this time is exceeded, the session is terminated. The deafult (and permanent value is 1500).

The Trap Version defines the kind of trap that will be made by the SNMP-capable client that is receiving the trap. A trap designation cannot be modified.

3.Highlight an existing Trap Receiver and click the Edit button to display a sub-screen used to modify the v2c or v3 Trap Receiver.

Edit Trap Receivers as needed if the existing trap receiver information is insufficient. You can only modify the IP address, port and v2c or v3 trap designation within the Edit screen. For more information, see Editing SNMP Trap Receivers on page 7-17.
