Nortel Networks NN46110-602 manual VPN Router administration

32 Chapter 1 VPN Router administration

The traps displayed on the group windows—in particular the Hardware Trap Configuration and the Service Trap Configuration windows—reflect the hardware and software available on your VPN Router. For example, if you have a VPN Router with no WAN interface cards, the traps for WAN interfaces do not appear on the Hardware Trap Configuration window.

Note: The Health Check window reports the results of many of the selections you make on the SNMP Traps window.

Most of the traps the VPN Router sends to configured trap hosts are also displayed on the SNMP Traps window. However, the SNMP Traps window does not display certain traps, including traps related to the status of branch office tunnels, due to space limitations. For example, when a physical interface status changes, many traps are sent reporting the failure of all the tunnels using this interface. The VPN Router sends all traps—whether they appear on the SNMP Traps window—to the SNMP management application specified as the trap destination.

Configuring SNMP traps to send notification when an IP address pool reaches the configured threshold

You can configure the VPN Router to make an SNMP trap send a notification about an exhausted pool when a defined IP address pool reaches a configurable limit. The VPN Router periodically traverses the list of IP address pools and sends a trap if any pool is over the quota. You can set the limit and the default is 70%.

To configure an SNMP trap to send a notification about an exhausted IP address pool:

1To capture the traps, you must first define and enable a target host. To do that, select Admin > Snmp Traps.

The Admin > SNMP Traps window appears.
