Configuring Community Strings and
Trap Receivers
A trap receiver is a computer on the network that is running an SNMP
management application and receives messages sent by the switch. For
example, the switch can send a trap to the trap receiver when it detects a
change in port speed.
To specify a trap receiver
1
Click the Configure Management menu, and then click Community
Strings and Traps.
2
In the IP Address box, type the IP address of the computer you want to
use as a trap receiver. You can specify up to four trap receivers.
3
In the Status box, click Enabled.
4
In the Community String box, type the trap receiver’s SNMP
application community string.
5
Click Submit.
NOTE
These are the traps supported by
the switch:
• Power to the switch was
cycled or reset.
• Link, speed, or other status
changes on a port.
• Authentication failure.
