SNMP Configuration and Usage Tasks

▼Add Trap Recipients

A recipient is a location on a manager where the SNMP agent sends traps. This location is defined by the combination of either the IP address or DNS name and the port number.

Use this procedure to add a trap recipient.

1.Select Tools > System Detail.

2.Select the Library folder from the device tree.

3.Select SNMP > Add Trap Recipient and enter the following details:

Host	Server name where the SNMP software application resides.
TrapLevel	See “Trap Levels” on page 299 for details.
Version	Version of the SNMP standard. The SL500 library supports:
	■ SNMPv2c of the simple network management protocol for
	machine status queries. With this version, any information
	transmitted is not secure.
	■ SNMPv3 of the simple network management protocol is
	reserved for proprietary information. Because this version
	supports encryption and stronger user identification it is
	the preferred protocol for proprietary data.
Community (v2c	Agent community string. When set to public, requests coming
only)	from any community string will be accepted.
TrapName (v3 only)	Name of the trap recipient.
Auth (v3 only)	Authentication protocol type (MD5 or SHA) string for users
	and hosts receiving traps. One of the two primary SNMPv3
	security protocols designed to reliably identify the integrity
	of the originating party.
AuthPass (v3 only)	Authentication password of the user.
Priv (v3 only)	Privacy protocol type (DES or AES): The other two primary
	SNMPv3 security protocols are designed to protect
	information within the message from disclosure.
PrivPass (v3 only)	Encryption Password that is the private key for encryption.
EngineID (v3 only)	Engine Id is an administratively unique identifier of an
	SNMP v3 engine used for identification, not for addressing
	(Source: The Internet Society, RFC 3411). SNMP v3
	authentication and encryption keys are generated based upon
	the associated passwords and the engine ID. The engine ID is
	a string of at most 31 hexadecimal characters, preceded with
	0x.

4.Click Apply.

The indexed trap recipients list is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This list supports up to 20 recipients with no duplicate entries. Users must add themselves to the recipients list to receive traps.
