Managing serial console switches 130
Configuring trap parameters for serial console switches
An SNMP trap is a notification sent by the serial console switch to a management station to indicate that
an unusual event has occurred in the switch that might demand further attention. You can specify what
SNMP traps are sent to the management stations by clearing or selecting the appropriate checkboxes in
the list (the SNMP Authentication Failure Trap is not selected by default).
When you select the Traps category for the first time, the Manage Console Switch retrieves and displays
a list of SNMP traps from the serial console switch. You can select Enable All or Disable All to easily
select or clear the entire list.
NOTE:
The CPQSERIAL.MIB file is provided on the HP IP Console Viewer CD to be used with HP Systems Insight
Manager or other SNMP management stations to properly receive SNMP traps.
