Trap Host; Trap Path - MCK EXTender PBXgateway II System Administrator Manual

Parameter Location:

Trap Host

Configuration>IP->LAN (or AUX_LAN)->SNMP
Description: Used for SNMP. This menu allows the user to input one to eight IP
addresses of nodes or devices (PC) to which to send SNMP Traps. These
nodes should be capable of running some sort of Network Management software
(HP Openview®) that is compatible with the SNMPv2c standard. Only these
devices will be targeted for Traps. The EXTender does not broadcast Trap
packets over the network.
Usage: Used to Set up SNMP.
Dependencies: SNMP must be enabled.
See Also: See SNMP Setup on page 90.
Parameter Location:

Trap Path

Configuration->IP->LAN (or AUX_LAN)->SNMP
Description: Used for SNMP. This variable determines the path the EXTender
should use to send Traps to the Trap Hosts entered above. The choices are
[LAN | WAN | BOTH].
If this variable is set to LAN then the SNMP agent will attempt to send Trap
packets out via a wire connection such as Ethernet. If such a connection does
not exist then the packet is dropped.
Setting the variable to WAN will cause the SNMP agent to attempt to send Trap
packets via the proprietary WAN connection. This is necessary if the Remote is
not directly connected to the Net and is being serviced via the proxy SNMP
server on the Gateway. If such a connection fails, then the packet is dropped.
Setting the variable to BOTH will cause the SNMP agent to send the Trap packet
via both the LAN and WAN connections. If both paths are valid this will produce
duplicate Trap messages on the Trap Hosts.
Select SNMP Trap path.
Dependencies: SNMP must be enabled.
