3.2.7.2 Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types
Traps indicating status changes areissued by the switch to specified trap managers.
You must specify trap managers so that key events are reportedby this switch to
your management station (using network management platforms such as Soltice
Domain Manager). You can specify up to fivemanagement stations that will receive
trap messages from the switch. The traps supported by this switch are listed under
“Supported Traps” on page A-3.
When configuring SNMP trap managers using the web interface or CLI, the
following parameters can be configured:
■IP Address – The Internet address of the host (the targeted recipient).
The maximum number of host IP addresses is 5.
■Community – The password-like string (between 1 and 32 characters) sent with
the notification operation. Although you can set this string in the Trap Managers
table, it is recommended to define this string in the SNMP Protocol table as well.
■Version– The SNMP version (1 or version 2c) that the host is running.
■Generate SNMP notification for
■Port link up and down events – Whenever a port link is established or broken.
■Authentication traps – Whenever an invalid community string is submitted
during the SNMP access authentication process.
