∆
Note: The defaults for Read-community and Write-commu-
nity should be used unless you are told otherwise by your 
network administrator. 
Trap-community
Enter public. (Trap is the SNMP term for alarm or alert.) Public is 
usually the default for the SNMP configuration. However, if there is 
any question, please contact your network administrator. SNMP 
MacAgent sends traps to the Asanté network management station for 
two events: restarting your Macintosh and authentication violation.
Trap IP Address
The IP address to which the workstation sends traps. This is usually 
the Asanté management station IP address.
Authentication Trap (On/Off)
This is ON by default. This station sends a trap to the Asanté manage-
ment station if accessed by an SNMP management console with the 
wrong read or write community string.
SNMP Agent (On/Off)
This is also ON by default. If SNMP Agent is OFF, the agent does not 
send information to the Asanté management station. 
AsantéView Network Management Station
The Asanté network management station should be running Asanté-
View or a Generic SNMP Management Console. Figure 3-4 shows a net-
work map generated by AsantéView network management software.
