CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE

Trap

Specify the IP address of the NMS to notify when a significant event is detected by the agent. When a trap condition occurs, the SNMP agent sends an SNMP trap message to any NMS specified as a trap receiver.

Parameter

Description

IP Address

Traps are sent to this address when errors or specific events occur on

 

the network.

Community

A community string (password) specified for trap management.

 

Enter a word, something other than public or private, to prevent

 

unauthorized individuals from accessing information on your system.

Version

Sets the trap status to disabled, or enabled with V1 or V2c.

 

The v2c protocol was proposed in late 1995 and includes

 

enhancements to v1 that are universally accepted. These include a

 

get-bulk command to reduce network management traffic when

 

retrieving a sequence of MIB variables, and a more elaborate set of

 

error codes for improved reporting to a Network Management

 

Station.
