2. Select the correct radio button, and then enter the IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or DNS name for the trap
destination. DNS is not supported for VC-FC modules.
3. Select the Trap Format: SNMPv1 or SNMPv2. SNMPv2 is not supported for VC-FC modules.
4. Enter the SNMP trap community string for the specified trap. The default is "public."
For VC-Enet modules, the maximum trap community string length is 39.
For VC-FC modules, the maximum trap community string length is 24.
5. Click OK to save the information and return to the main SNMP configuration screen, or continue and
select trap categories or trap severities.
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. Hover the 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 check box. For VC-FC modules, selecting either the Port Status or Other
check box 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 )."
Adding SNMP access
By configuring addresses on the SNMP Access screen, administrators can control which SNMP clients
receive responses from VCM when they query for SNMP information.
To add an SNMP access, right-click the header row of the SNMP Access table, or click Add at the bottom of
the SNMP Access table.
1. Enter a unique IP address for the network to be given access:
a. Select the IPv4 or IPv6 radio button.
b. Enter the IP address, including a valid network mask bits value (1-32).
2. Click OK to save the information and return to the main SNMP configuration screen.
