Operation

Configuring SNMP Traps

A trap is an unsolicited message that is sent from the DSU/CSU to an SNMP manager when the DSU/CSU detects certain pre-specified conditions. These traps enable the SNMP manager to monitor the state of the network.

The SNMP Trap configuration option must be enabled for trap messages to be sent over the communications link. You must specify the number of SNMP managers that are to receive traps from this DSU/CSU, an IP address for each SNMP manager specified, and the type of traps to be sent from this DSU/CSU. For more information, refer to Appendix C, Configuration Options, and the SNMP Traps section in Chapter 4, Maintenance.
