Using SNMP alerts
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a well-defined standard for reporting device
information through a network. The Interface Manager card has a built-in SNMP agent that supports
queries to MIB-II in addition to SNMP traps/alerts.
Command View TL lets you change the following common SNMP settings:
•
Trap Destinations—IP addresses of hosts or applications that need to receive SNMP alerts/traps
from the Interface Manager card. A trap receiver is an SNMP-enabled machine on the LAN
that decodes and logs SNMP traps. Up to eight trap destinations can be specified.
•
Community String—Plain-text community string or password required by SNMP clients to read
or write SNMP MIB values.
Adding an SNMP trap
To add a new SNMP trap entry:
1.
If necessary, obtain the required network settings from your network administrator.
2. In the Library window, click the Configuration tab.
