enable traps Enables trap generation (using the trap receiver configuration defined). This feature is disabled by default.
Enabling this feature ensures the dispatch of SNMP notifications to all hosts.
In a managed network, the controller uses SNMP trap receivers to notify faults. SNMP traps are
unsolicited notifications triggered by thresholds (or actions) on devices and are therefore an important
fault management tool.
A SNMP trap receiver is the destination of SNMP messages (external to the controller). A trap is like a
Syslog message, just over another protocol (SNMP). A trap is generated when a device consolidates event
information and transmits the information to an external repository. The trap contains several standard
items, such as the SNMP version, community etc.
SNMP trap notifications exist for most controller operations, but not all are necessary for
day-to-day operation.
host <IP> Configures a host’s IP address. This is the external server resource dedicated to receiving SNMP traps on
behalf of the controller.
[v2c|v3] Configures the SNMP version used to send the traps
•
v2c – Uses SNMP version 2c
•
v3 – Uses SNMP version 3
<1-65535> Optional. Specifies the host’s UDP port number. This is port used by the external resource to receive SNMP
traps.
<1-65535> – Optional. Sets a value from 1 - 65535. The default port is 162.
manager [all|v2|v3] Enables SNMP manager and specifies the SNMP version
•
all – Enables SNMP manager version v2 and v3
•
v1 – Enables SNMP manager version v1 only. SNMPv1 uses a simple password (“community string”).
Data is unencrypted (clear text). Consequently it provides limited security, and should be used only
inside LANs behind firewalls, not in WANs.
•
v2 – Enables SNMP manager version v2 only. SNMPv2 provides device management using a
hierarchical set of variables. SNMPv2 uses Get, GetNext, and Set operations for data management.
SNMPv2 is enabled by default.
•
v3 – Enables SNMP manager version v3 only. SNMPv3 adds security and remote configuration
capabilities to previous versions. The SNMPv3 architecture introduces the User-based Security
Model (USM) for message security and the View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for access
control. The architecture supports the concurrent use of different security, access control and
message processing techniques. SNMPv3 is enabled by default.
max-pending-requests
{<64-1024>} Sets the maximum number of requests that can be pending at any given time
•
<64-1024> – Optional. Specify a value from 64 - 1024. The default is 128.
request-timeout
{<2-720>} Sets the interval, in seconds, after which an error message is returned for a pending request
•
<2-720> – Optional. Specify a value from 2 - 720 seconds. The default is 240 seconds.
display-vlan-info-per-radio Enables the display of the VLAN ID along with the radio interface ID
