contact person in the System section. Both fields have a limit of 255 characters.
b.
Type Read, Write, and Trap community names. These specify the community strings
that must be used in SNMP actions. The Read and Write strings only apply to SNMP
over UDP port 161 and act as passwords that protect access to the appliance. The values
can be up to 64 characters in length. These fields can not be left blank.
c.
Type the IP address of up to four management servers in the Allowable Managers fields,
or leave the fields blank to allow any SNMP management server to manage the appliance.

Type the IP address of up to four management servers to which this appliance will send
traps in the Trap Destination fields. If no IP addresses are specified, no traps are sent.
5.
Click Save.
Configuring SNMP traps
When the Configure tab is selected, the Admin and other users with Appliance Administrator
rights can click the SNMP > Traps option in the left menu to configure which traps are enabled
and disabled. OpenManage™ IT Assistant software is the event manager.
