32 Chapter 1 VPN Router administration
NN46110-602
The traps displayed on the group windows—in particular the Hardware Trap
Configuration and the Service Trap Configuration windows—reflect the hardware
and software available on your VPN Router. For example, if you have a VPN
Router with no WAN interface cards, the traps for WAN interfaces do not appear
on the Hardware Trap Configuration window.
Most of the traps the VPN Router sends to configured trap hosts are also displayed
on the SNMP Traps window. However, the SNMP Traps window does not display
certain traps, including traps related to the status of branch office tunnels, due to
space limitations. For example, when a physical interface status changes, many
traps are sent reporting the failure of all the tunnels using this interface. The VPN
Router sends all traps—whether they appear on the SNMP Traps window—to the
SNMP management application specified as the trap destination.
Configuring SNMP traps to send notification when an IP
address pool reaches the configured threshold
You can configure the VPN Router to make an SNMP trap send a notification
about an exhausted pool when a defined IP address pool reaches a configurable
limit. The VPN Router periodically traverses the list of IP address pools and sends
a trap if any pool is over the quota. You can set the limit and the default is 70%.
To configure an SNMP trap to send a notification about an exhausted IP address
pool:
1 To capture the traps, you must first define and enable a target host. To do that,
select Admin > Snmp Traps.
The Admin > SNMP Traps window appears.
Note: The Health Check window reports the results of many of the
selections you make on the SNMP Traps window.
