If you enter information that is invalid (for example, if you use a space in the Destination name), a red box

appears around that field. Mouse over the box to see information regarding the error.
Select trap categories
Selecting a trap category allows multiple traps to be enabled or disabled as a group.
To select trap categories, click the checkbox. For VC-FC modules, selecting either the Port Status or Other

checkbox results in all SNMP traps being sent to the trap destination. VC-FC modules do not differentiate
between trap types. To select a VCM trap category, do one of the following:

Highlight the item, and then click the right arrow.

Highlight the item, and then drag and drop it into the right window.

Select trap severities
To select a trap severity, do one of the following:

Highlight the item, and then click the right arrow.

Highlight the item, and then drag and drop it into the right window.

For a definition of trap severities, see "Trap severities (on page

35

)." When an event causes a trap to be

generated with the severity listed in the right window, it is sent to the trap destination. For VC-FC modules, the
trap severity is fixed at INFORMATIONAL and cannot be modified.
If you do not have the required user role permission to select a category, that section is disabled. For a listing

of trap categories and the required administrative role permission, see "Trap categories and required user

role permissions (on page

35

)."
