Configuring trap conditions
You can optionally configure which traps that the switch should generate. You do
this by selecting a status for the trap condition, that is, if it is either enabled or
disabled. If a trap condition is enabled and the condition is detected, the switch's
SNMP agent sends the trap to all enabled trap receivers. Otherwise, no condition is
detected and no trap is sent. The default Status value for all Trap Conditions is
Enabled. The switch does not have to be reset to implement the changes. Cold
start traps are always generated; there are no associated trap conditions.
To configure trap conditions, select Trap Menu from the Management Menu. From
the Trap Menu, select Trap Flag Configuration Menu, then enable or disable trap
flags.
Figure 23 on page 42 shows the trap flags that you can set.
This is the SNMP community name of the remote network manager; the
name can be up to 16 characters, and is case-sensitive. The default value
for the 6 undefined community names is Delete.
Each IP address parameter is four decimal numbers. The numbers range
from 0 to 255. The default IP address is 0.0.0.0.
The status for trap receivers can be Enabled, Disabled, or Deleted. Trap
receivers with Enabled status are active and the SNMP agent sends traps
to them. Trap receivers with Disabled status are inactive and the SNMP
agent does not send traps to them. Trap receivers with a Deleted status are
removed from the table.
