Notification Recipients

STEP 4
Notification Recipients
Trap messages are generated to report system events, as defined in RFC 1215. The system can generate
traps defined in the MIB that it supports.
Trap receivers (aka Notification Recipients) are network nodes where the trap messages are sent by the
device. A list of notification recipients are defined as the targets of trap messages.
A trap receiver entry contains the IP address of the node and the SNMP credentials corresponding to the
version that is included in the trap message. When an event arises that requires a trap message to be sent,
it is sent to every node listed in the Notification Recipient Table.
The Notification Recipients SNMPv1,2 page and the Notification Recipients SNMPv3 page enable
configuring the destination to which SNMP notifications are sent, and the types of SNMP notifications that
are sent to each destination (traps or informs). The Add/Edit pop-ups enable configuring the attributes of
the notifications.
An SNMP notification is a message sent from the device to the SNMP management station indicating that a
certain event has occurred, such as a link up/down.
It is also possible to filter certain notifications. This can be done by creating a filter in the Notification Filter
page and attaching it to an SNMP notification recipient. The notification filter enables filtering the type of
SNMP notifications that are sent to the management station based on the OID of the notification that is
about to be sent.

source IPv4 address in inform messages for communication with IPv4 SNMP servers.
• Traps IPv4 Source Interface—Select the source interface whose IPv6 address will be used as the
source IPv6 address in trap messages for communication with IPv6 SNMP servers.
