SNMP Traps

SNMP traps are unsolicited messages sent out from the DSU/CSU automatically
when the DSU/CSU detects conditions set by the user.

Configuring SNMP Traps

An SNMP trap can be automatically sent out through the FDL or the Ethernet port
to the SNMP manager when the DSU/CSU detects conditions set by the user.
These traps enable the SNMP manager to gauge the state of the device. Refer to
Appendix D,
Standards Compliance for SNMP Traps,
for details of SNMP traps
supported by the DSU/CSU.
To configure the DSU/CSU for SNMP traps, use the SNMP Traps Options screen
to:
Enable SNMP traps.
Set the number of SNMP managers that receive SNMP traps from the
DSU/CSU.
Enter an IP address and network destination for each SNMP manager
specified.
Select the type of SNMP traps to be sent from the DSU/CSU.
