Configuring SNMPv3 Trap Filters
SNMP v3 users can be configured to receive notification messages from the access
point. An SNMP Target ID is created that specifies the SNMP v3 user, IP address,
and UDP port. A user-defined notification filter can be created so that specific
notifications can be prevented from being sent to particular targets.
The access point allows up to 10 notification filters to be created. Each filter can be
defined by up to 20 MIB subtree ID entries.
To configure a new notification filter, click the New button. A new page opens to
configure the filter (see below). To edit an existing filter, select the radio button next
to the entry in the table and then click the Edit button. To delete a filter, select the
radio button next to the entry in the table and then click the Delete button.
When you click on the New button in the SNMP Trap Filters page, a new page
opens where the filter parameters are configured. Define a filter name and subtree
ID to be filtered. Select the filter type, include or exclude, from the drop-down list.
Click Apply to create the filter.
To add more subtree IDs to the filter, return to the SNMP Trap Filters page and click
the Edit button. In the Edit page, click the New button to access the Add SNMP
Notification Subtree page and configure a new subtree ID to be filtered.
