Setting SNMP traps
A trap is a mechanism for reporting system change in real time (for example, reporting an
incoming call to a serial host port). When a trap is generated by some condition, a traps-PDU
(protocol data unit) is sent across the Ethernet to the SNMP manager.
The following example shows the parameters related to setting SNMP traps:
Ethernet
SNMP Traps
Name=
Alarm=Yes
Port=Yes
Security=Yes
Comm=
Dest=10.2.3.4
(For complete information about each parameter and the events that generate traps in the
various classes, see the MAX Reference Guide.)
Understanding the SNMP trap parameters
To specify the community string for communicating with the SNMP manager, set the Comm
field to the community name associated with the SNMP PDU.
The next three fields specify whether the MultiVoice Gateway traps alarm events, port events,
and/or security events, respectively, and sends a trap-PDU to the SNMP manager.
The Port field specifies the destination address for the trap-status report. If DNS or YP/NIS is
supported, the Dest field can contain the hostname of a system running an SNMP manager. If
the DNS or YP/NIS is not supported, the Dest field must contain the host’s address.
Note: To turn off SNMP traps, set Dest=0.0.0.0 and delete the value for Comm.
Example of an SNMP trap configuration
The procedure in this example creates a profile that specifies a community name, all three trap
types, and the host’s IP address:
1 Open an SNMP Traps profile and assign it a name.
2 Specify the community name (for example, Ascend).
3 Set the trap types to Yes.
4 Specify the IP address of the host to which the trap-PDUs will be sent.
You have now created the following subprofile:
Ethernet
SNMP Traps
Name=security-traps
Alarm=Yes
Port=Yes
