Persistent V1,V2C-Traps: Enables the F3400/F1000 to issue continuous SNMP Traps until an
alarm acknowledgement is received by the F3400/F1000 or until the alarming point returns to
normal. The parameter is a user defined time interval that is set in minutes. Traps can be
acknowledged from the Alarm Management page. The SNMP Traps do not include any delivery
verification. A Persistent Trap setting of 5 or 10 minutes will trigger the F3400/F1000 to send
the Trap on a regular interval in case the previous Trap did not reach the Network Management
System (NMS). Typically, the NMS can be set to ignore duplicate Traps to prevent re-alarming
at the NMS.
Analog Trap Type: Used for communication to a NMS via SNMP Traps. The default will add
the Value, UOM (Unit of Measure), and the Label fields. If preferred, the F3400/F1000 can
send only the label on analog Traps. This makes analog Traps the same format as digital Traps
which may make parsing the Traps easier for the NMS.
Select SNMP Trap Type: Select SNMP V1-Trap, V2C-Trap, or V2C Inform based on
individual network system configurations.
Max Inform Retries: Set options related to resending unacknowledged inform requests.
Communities: Identifies devices that receive SNMP Traps and/or Syslog messages from the
F3400/F1000 and interacts with the F3400/F1000 over the network. To add a device to the
Communities list, select a community number posted as “empty”. Enter the receiving device’s
IP Address and a string that identifies the device. An IP Address of 0.0.0.0 in this field allows
any device to access the F3400/F1000 through an MIB browser. Select “Write” if the device
will have Read/Write network access. This allows the F3400/F1000 to be configured over the
network. Select “Traps” if the device will receive Traps from the F3400/F1000. Select
“Syslog” if the device will receive Syslog messages from the F3400/F1000.
Note Refer to the “MIB Files Information” document located in the F-Series webpage of our website
( www.rletech.com ) for more information on the SNMP Trap format and MIB files.
