Viewing Specific Trap Messages
After you load the trap messages, you can filter the trap messages you view in the
Trap Monitor window.
Remember that filtering the messages has no effect on which trap messages the
SNMP agent sends to the Site Manager workstation. To specify the types of
messages sent by the SNMP agent, refer to “Selecting
Trap Messages” on
page
7-7.
Using the Trap Monitor, you can filter trap messages by trap type (which is the
same as the event severity level) or by IP address.
