RMON Agent
When an SNMP device on the network generates a trap as a result of some
condition on that device, the device must know where to send the trap (the
trap destination). For Cabletron devices such as an EMME, there is a Trap
Destination Table which is user-configurable and accessed through local
management via the front panel console port on the EMME or remotely with
the SPMA Trap Table Tool.
If you are not using Cabletron devices or agents, be aware that trap
destination tables are not yet part of the SNMP standard, so many vendors
implement a proprietary method for specifying trap destinations. Consult the
documentation of your RMON probe or agent for information on configuring
trap destinations and for compatibility with this application.
The following instructions for configuring the Trap Table apply to all
Cabletron Devices, since the local management is the same or very similar.
When you configure the trap table, you can use either of the following
methods.
The SPMA Trap Table Tool—This tool provides remote configuration of
Cabletron device Trap Tables. If you choose to use this tool please refer to the
SPMA Tools User Guide for instructions.
Local Management—The Trap Destination Table is accessed through local
management via the front panel console port on the device. The
documentation for your particular device contains all the necessary
instructions regarding equipment and procedures for using local
management. The following instructions pertain to configuring the Trap
Destination Table only. If you need further information regarding local
management please refer to the user manual which accompanied your device.
