Configuring the trap receiver
Trap messages are sent across a network to an SNMP Network Manager. These
messages alert the manager to events occurring within the switch or on the
network. Up to six simultaneous trap receivers are supported.
IP Addresses in the SNMP trap receiver table must be unique. If you make multiple
entries using the same IP address, the first entry is kept and processed and all
duplicate entries are ignored.
To configure trap receivers, select SNMP Trap Receiver Configuration Menu on
the Management Menu. Figure 22 on page 41 shows the parameters you need to
specify.

To have a specific IP address be the only authenticated IP address, set the
Client IP Address to the required IP address and set the Client IP Mask to
255.255.255.255. The default for the Client IP Mask is 0.0.0.0.
This value can be read-only or read/write. A community with a read-only
access allows for switch information to be displayed. A community with a
read/write access allows for configuration changes to be made and for
information to be displayed.
A community name with read-only access is restricted from viewing SNMP
community and SNMP trap receiver information.
This attribute has the following values: Enable, Disable and Delete on the
terminal and Web interface and Active, Inactive, and Delete on SNMP.
A community status of Enable/Active means that the community is active,
allowing SNMP managers associated with this community to manage the
switch according to its access right.
A community status of Disable/Inactive means that the community is not
active; no SNMP requests using this community will be accepted. In this
case the SNMP manager associated with this community cannot manage
the switch until the Status is changed back to Enable/Active.
A community status of Delete means that this name will be removed from
the table. The default Status values for the default private and public
community names are both Enable/Active. The default value is
Delete/Inactive for the 4 undefined community names.
