SNMP/Trap Configuration

In order for traps to function, you must set the trap in the Thresholds dialog
box. You must be at the management station to set traps. This menu selection
only appears for switches that are browser-manageable. Do the following:

2. In the Device Configuration dialog box select the Thresholds tab and set
the thresholds for the traps you are interested in receiving.
• Threshold—the value of the event at which the trap or alarm is
triggered
• Tolerance—the device does not send another event to the manager
until the value goes below the tolerance value and the threshold value
is reached again. The default is 80% of the threshold value.
• Time Interval—the time elapsed while HP TopTools examines speci-
fied traffic for threshold and tolerance violations. If the threshold is
reached with the time interval specified, an event is triggered.
