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.

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.

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

only)

Agent community string. When set to public, requests coming

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.
