Monitoring Trap and Event Messages

Viewing Messages by Router IP Address
Viewing messages by router IP address shows messages that originate from the
SNMP agent at that address only. Specifying a partial IP address causes the Trap
Monitor to show trap messages from all agents that have the same partial IP
address.
To view message by router IP address:
1. In the Trap Monitor window, choose View > Set Address Filters.
The Address Filters window opens (Figure
7-12).
Figure 7-12. Address Filters Window
The default address filter of 0.0.0.0 instructs the Trap Monitor to display trap
messages from all routers. The address filter of 255.255.255.255 is merely a
placeholder for an IP address that you specify.
2. Enter one or more complete or partial IP addresses.
You can enter as many as five complete or partial IP addresses. Any field that
you do not fill in must display the placeholder, 255.255.255.255.
Figure
7-13 shows an example of an Address Filters window.
