differs from the community string on the Chassis Network Services page.

outbound traps destined to management stations. The community string on

management stations use to query the SNMP daemon on CMC.

Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 Select Chassis in the system tree.

4 Click the Traps Settings tab. The Chassis Event Alert Destinations
page displays.

NOTE: Specify trap destinations as appropriately-formatted numeric addresses
(IPv6 or IPv4), or Fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs). Choose a format that is
consistent with your networking technology/infrastructure. The Test Trap
functionality is unable to detect improper choices based on current network
configuration (e.g. use of an IPv6 destination in an IPv4-only environment).
