7 - 6 Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge

Enabling Remote NMS to Change Community Setup (Remote)

The remote option controls whether the section of the custom MIB for

the Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge allowing access to the community

name conﬁguration is enabled or disabled.

n On: A remote NMS with write access will be able to change the con-

ﬁguration and access rights for the community names.

n Off: No NMS will be able to change this part of the conﬁguration.

Setting SNMP Trap Destinations (Trapdest)

Use the trapdest option to generate SNMP trap messages to a particular

NMS whenever a signiﬁcant event occurs.

If SNMP is enabled and the trapdest option is conﬁgured with a valid IP

address, then the system will generate SNMP trap messages. If the trap-

dest option is set to “none,” then traps will not be sent. Setting the “trap-

dest” parameter to address 0.0.0.0 is the same as disabling trap

generation by using “none.”

The following trap messages will be sent as they occur:

n A cold start trap will be sent when the unit ﬁrst powers up.

n A link up trap is sent when the conﬁguration is changed or restored

for a severe error condition.

n A link down trap is sent when the conﬁguration is changed or

encounters a severe error condition.

n A link up trap is sent for an Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge as soon

as the radio is conﬁgured.

n An authentication failure trap will be sent if an SNMP request is

received with an unknown community name. This trap may be dis-

abled by setting the “authtrap” parameter to “Off”. See “Enabling

Authentication Failure Trap (Authtrap)”.

n Any normal alarms and logs you have conﬁgured to be sent by set-

ting the “loglevel” parameter.

NOTE: Since the path to the trap destination may be through a failed or

not yet established radio link, it is possible that cold start and link down

traps could be lost.
