Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/32
Configure SNMP Trap Message Recipients
Perform this procedure to configure community names, write authorizations, and
network addresses and for up to 12 SNMP trap message recipients. A trap recipient is
a management workstation that receives notification (through SNMP) if a switch event
occurs.
To configure SNMP trap recipients:
1. At the Hardware View page for the selected switch, choose Configure > SNMP
Agent. The Configure SNMP Agent dialog box displays, as shown in
Figure 2–26 .
Figure 2–26: Configure SNMP Agent dialog box
a. For each trap recipient to be configured, type a community name of 64
alphanumeric characters or less in the associated Community Name field.
The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure
against unauthorized viewing or use.
b. Click the check box in the Write Authorization column to enable or disable
write authorization for the trap recipient (default is disabled). A check mark in
the box indicates write authorization is enabled. When the feature is enabled,
a management workstation user can change the HAFM server’s
sysContact , sysName , and sysLocation SNMP variables.
c. Type the IP address or DNS host name of the trap recipient (SNMP
management workstation) in the associated Trap Recipient field. Use 32
alphanumeric characters or less. It is recommended the IP address be used.
d. The default user datagram protocol (UDP) port number for trap recipients
is 162 . Type a decimal port number in the associated UDP Port Number
field to override the default.
