Enabling Authentication Traps
The IntraSwitch 5308FL can be set to generate
authentication traps.
Authentication traps are messages sent across the network
to an SNMP network management application (such as
AsantéView or IntraSpection). They occur when a network
management station with an invalid community string
attempts to access the IntraSwitch 5308FL.
To set the IntraSwitch 5308FL to generate authentication
traps:
1 Open the SNMP Parameter Menu by typing n
on the Configuration Menu.
2 Type t on the SNMP Parameter Menu to tog-
gle trap authentication from disabled to
enabled.
3 Make sure there is a least one trap receiver
entry. (See “Adding a Trap Receiver Entry” on
page 5-21.)
