7.5 Configuring SNMP Trap Receivers
Refer to the Trap Receivers screen to review the attributes of existing SNMP trap receivers (including
destination address, port, community, retry count, timeout and trap version). A new v2c or v3 trap receiver
can be added to the existing list by clicking the
Add button.
To configure the attributes of SNMP trap receivers:
1. Select Management Access > SNMP Trap Receivers from the main menu tree.
2. Refer to the following SNMP trap receiver data to assess whether modifications are required.
3. Highlight an existing Trap Receiver and click the Edit button to display a sub-screen used to modify the
v2c or v3 Trap Receiver.
Edit Trap Receivers as needed if the existing trap receiver information is insufficient. You can only modify
the IP address, port and v2c or v3 trap designation within the Edit screen. For more information, see
Editing SNMP Trap Receivers on page 7-17 .
Destination Address The Destination Address defines the numerical (non DNS name) destination IP address for
receiving the traps sent by the SNMP agent.
Port The Port specifies a destination User Datagram Protocol receiving traps.
Community Enter a Community name specific to the SNMP-capable client that receives the traps. The
community name is public.
Retry Count The Retry Count specifies the maximum number of retries attempted (to reach the
destination address) before the session times out.
Timeout The Timeout value specifies the time (in seconds) for the retransmission of packets. If this
time is exceeded, the session is terminated. The deafult (and permanent value is 1500).
Trap Version The Trap Version defines the kind of trap that will be made by the SNMP-capable client that
is receiving the trap. A trap designation cannot be modified.
