Enabling Snmp Traps - Extreme Networks Altitude 4700 Series Product Reference Manual

Enabling SNMP Traps

SNMP provides the ability to send traps to notify the administrator that trap conditions are met. Traps
are network packets containing data relating to network devices, or SNMP agents, that send the traps.
SNMP management applications can receive and interpret these packets, and optionally can perform
responsive actions. SNMP trap generation is programmable on a trap-by-trap basis.
Use the SNMP Traps Configuration screen to enable traps and to configure appropriate settings for
reporting this information. Trap configuration depends on the network machine that receives the
generated traps. SNMP v1/v2c and v3 trap configurations function independently. In a mixed SNMP
environment, generated traps can be sent using configurations for both SNMP v1/v2c and v3.
To configure SNMP traps on the access point:
1 Select System Configuration > SNMP Access > SNMP Trap Configuration from the access point menu
tree.
2 Configure the SNMP v1/v2c Trap Configuration field (if SNMP v1/v2c Traps are used) to modify the
following:
