8.1.2SNMP Trap configuration
The RamSan has the ability to send unsolicited messages to managers when it detects a significant event. The SNMP standard refers to this type of message as a “trap.”
The RamSan supports the following traps:
•Power on notification – indicates that the system has turned on
•Power off notification – indicates that a shutdown sequence has been initiated
•Power state notification – indicates that the power state has changed
•Memory state notification – indicates that the memory state has changed
•Battery state notification – indicates that the battery state has changed
•Fan state notification – indicates that a fan state has changed
•Disk state notification – indicates that the disk state has changed
•Disk array notification – indicates that the disk array state has changed
•Fibre Channel state notification – indicates that a fibre channel controller state has changed
•LUN change notification – indicates that the LUN table has been changed
•Fibre Channel configuration change notification – indicates that the configuration of a fibre channel controller has changed
•System message – contains additional system details
All traps are enabled by default. For more details regarding the
RamSan’s traps, see Appendix E – SNMP Trap Definitions.
You can specify a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the RamSan go the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the network. The RamSan sends all the SNMP traps to the specified host(s) and includes the specified community strings.
To specify the host to which the RamSan sends all SNMP traps, use one of the following methods:
Via Text Management
•From the Telnet Main Menu, select “Management setup”
•Select “Configure SNMP”
The top of this menu displays the current SNMP settings.
To add a trap receiver to the list of Trap IPs:
•Select “Add IP address to the trap list”
•Enter the IP address of the trap receiver and press [ENTER]
