System information

SNMP Settings

The SNMP Settings selection of the Settings menu displays a dialog box that

lists the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) settings for the n-

Command MSP server. Use this dialog box to configure or edit the SNMP trap

settings.

1. Select SNMP Settings from the Settings menu.

2. Enter the management server IP address in the Host 1 field. The address

should be for the server that will receive the SNMP traps.

3. Enter the Port number to use on the server. The default port is 162.

4. Enter the SNMP community string to include with the trap in the

Community field.

5. Select which SNMP version to use. Choose either v1 or v2c (even though

version 3 appears in the drop-down menu, it is not currently supported).

6. Select the Inform check box if you want to issue version 2 inform

messages instead of version 2 traps. If you select inform messages, the

management station is required to send an acknowledgement message.

The system resends the inform message until it is acknowledged or the

maximum retries threshold is reached. The Timeout value and number of

Retries can only be set once the Inform option is selected. The Timeout

is entered as milliseconds and represents the amount of time the system

waits before resending. The Retries value is the number of times the

system will retry sending the inform message before the operation fails.

7. Enable traps for a specific alert by selecting the check box beside the

alert. Use the scroll bar to move up and down the list. An Enable All and

Disable All button is provided to make selecting all alerts or deselecting

all alerts easier. The alerts are listed in groupings based on their

associations. For example, the first six alerts listed correspond to the

Device Alerts module on the Dashboard. The next six are all SNMP alerts

generated by the devices. The next six alerts pertain to the n-Command

MSP server conditions and correspond to the System Performance

module on the Dashboard.

8. Once all settings are finalized, select Save.
