HP 8.20q Fibre Channel Switch - Manual (Page 60)

60 Managing Switches
The lower portion of the SNMP Properties dialog box contains tabs for each SNMP Trap Configuration,
which define how each of the five traps are set.
3. For Trap 1, complete the following configuration settings:
NOTE: The Trap Address (other than 0.0.0.0) and Trap Port combination must be unique. For
example, if Trap 1 and Trap 2 have the same address, they must have different port values.
Similarly, if Trap 1 and Trap 2 have the same port value, they must have different addresses.
However, you can have multiple trap destinations with the same address, if you ensure that the port
values are different. You can accomplish this via clish (command line interface shell) using a
two-step process. First, set the address to something unique, modify the port, and save/activate.
Second, go back in and set the address to one that is already set as a different trap destination.
4. To set additional traps, click the Trap 2 through Trap 5 tabs to bring each of those tabbed pages to the
front and complete the settings on those pages (for details, refer to step 3 ).
5. To save the switch SNMP configuration settings and close this dialog box, click OK. To close the dialog
box without making any changes, click Cancel.
SNMP Proxy Select this check box to allow the use of SNMP to monitor and configure any
switch in the fabric. Clear this check box to prevent this function.
Location Enter a name (maximum 64 characters) for the switch location.
Authentication Trap Allows reporting of SNMP authentication failures. In the event of an
authentication failure caused by incorrect community string values, a notification
trap is sent to the configured trap addresses. Click True to enable this feature, or
click False to disable this feature. The default value is False.
Trap Enabled Select this check box to enable this trap. Clear this check box to disable this trap
(traps are not sent to trap monitoring stations and you cannot configure a
disabled trap).
Trap Version Select the SNMP version (V1 or V2) with which to format the traps.
Trap Address
(see note below)
Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address, or DNS host name, to which SNMP traps are
sent. A maximum of five trap addresses are allowed, if the firmware on the switch
supports the trap community string per trap enhancement. The default address
for Trap 1 is 10.0.0.254. The default address for Traps 2 through 5 is 0.0.0.0.
Trap Community Enter the Trap Community password that authorizes an SNMP agent to receive
traps. This is a write-only field. The value on the switch and the SNMP
management server must be the same. The default is public. You may enter up to
32 characters.
Note that for switches running 7.4 or newer firmware, the Trap Community string
is now per-trap. With firmware older than 7.4, there is just one Trap Community
string for all SNMP configuration.
Trap Severity Select a severity level to assign to the trap. Trap severity levels include Unknown,
Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notify, Info, Debug, and Mark.
Trap Port
(see note below)
Enter the number (1–65535) of the port on which a trap is set.
