SNMP traps

Trap Receivers.

Path: Administration > Notification > SNMP Traps > trap receivers

View trap receivers by NMS IP/Host Name. You can configure up to six trap receivers.

• To open the page for configuring a new trap receiver, click Add Trap Receiver.

• To modify or delete a trap receiver, first click its IP address or host name to access its settings. (If

you delete a trap receiver, all notification settings configured under Event Actions for the deleted

trap receiver are set to their default values.)

• To specify the trap type for a trap receiver, select either the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 radio button.

For an NMS to receive both types of traps, you must configure two trap receivers for that NMS,

one for each trap type.

SNMPv1 option.

SNMPv3 option.

Select the identifier of the user profile for this trap receiver. (To view the settings of

the user profiles identified by the user names selectable here, choose Network on the top menu bar and

user profiles under SNMPv3 on the left navigation menu.)

See “SNMPv3” on page 62 for information on creating user profiles and selecting

authentication and encryption methods.

SNMP Trap Test

Path: Administration > Notification > SNMP Traps > test

Last Test Result. The result of the most recent SNMP trap test. A successful SNMP trap test verifies

only that a trap was sent; it does not verify that the trap was received by the selected trap receiver. A trap

test succeeds if all of the following are true:

• The SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) configured for the selected trap receiver is enabled on

this device.

• The trap receiver is enabled.

• If a host name is selected for the To address, that host name can be mapped to a valid IP address.

Item Definition

Trap Generation Enable (the default) or disable trap generation for this trap receiver.

NMS IP/Host Name The IP address or host name of this trap receiver. The default, 0.0.0.0, leaves the trap

receiver undefined.

Language Chose a language from the drop-down list. This can differ from the UI and from

other trap receivers.

Item Definition

Community Name The name (public by default) used as an identifier when SNMPv1 traps are sent to

this trap receiver.

Authenticate Traps When this option is enabled (the default), the NMS identified by the NMS IP/Host

Name setting will receive authentication traps (traps generated by invalid attempts to

log on to this device). To disable that ability, unmark the check box.
