Simple Network Management Protocol 3

Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types

Traps indicating status changes are issued by the switch to specified trap managers. You must specify trap managers so that key events are reported by this switch to your management station (using network management platforms such as HP OpenView). You can specify up to five management stations that will receive authentication failure messages and other trap messages from the switch.

Command Attributes

•Trap Manager Capability – This switch supports up to five trap managers.

•Current – Displays a list of the trap managers currently configured.

•Trap Manager IP Address – IP address of the host (the targeted recipient).

•Trap Manager Community String – Community string sent with the notification operation. (Range: 1-32 characters, case sensitive)

•Trap Version – Specifies whether to send notifications as SNMP v1 or v2c traps. (The default is version 1.)

•Enable Authentication Traps – Issues a trap message whenever an invalid community string is submitted during the SNMP access authentication process. (Default: Enabled.)

•Enable Link-up and Link-down Traps – Issues a trap message whenever a port link is established or broken. (Default: Enabled)

Web – Click SNMP, Configuration. Fill in the IP address and community string for each trap manager that will receive these messages, specify the SNMP version, mark the trap types required, and then click Add.
