SNMP traps are alerts generated by a device. Using SNMP traps can
help ensure you have the most current device information without
having to continuously request information. For example, if a device
experiences an error, by enabling SNMP traps, the Printer DCA can
be notified of the error immediately instead of waiting until the next
scheduled Printer DCA scan.
Prior to enabling SNMP traps on the Printer DCA, you need to
specify in the internal configuration for each device that SNMP traps
should be sent to the IP address of the system installed with the
Printer DCA. This only needs to be done for devices that you want to
receive SNMP traps from.
After SNMP traps are enabled on the Printer DCA, each SNMP trap
received will trigger the Printer DCA to perform a regular data scan
on only the device that sent the SNMP trap. The results from this
scan will be sent to the central server as soon as possible. Once the
server has processed the information, and performs the next
scheduled check for new alerts, the corresponding alert will be
created in PrintFleet Optimizer.
To enable SNMP traps:
1. Under the Scan tab, make sure the correct scan profile is
selected from the Scan Profile list. For more information on
scan profiles, see "Managing scan profiles" on page 14.
2. Under the Advanced tab, in the Miscellaneous area, select the
Enable SNMP Traps check box.
3. Click Save.
By default, during a Printer DCA scan, the Printer DCA will display
the real time status of the scan under the Status tab. This includes
the profile name of the current scan, the IP address currently being
scanned, the total number of IP addresses in the scan profile, and
