Configuring SNMP Traps
Instant supports the configuration of external trap receivers. Only the W-IAP acting as the Virtual Controller
generates traps. The traps for W-IAP cluster are generated with Virtual Controller IP as the source IP if Virtual
Controller IP is configured. The OID of the traps is 1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.3.3.1.200.2.X.
You can configure SNMP traps using the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure an SNMP trap receiver:
1. Navigate to System > Show advanced options > Monitoring. The Monitoring window is displayed.
2. Under SNMP Traps, enter a name in the SNMP Engine ID text box. It indicates the name of the SNMP
agent on the access point. The SNMPV3 agent has an engine ID that uniquely identifies the agent in the
device and is unique to that internal network.
3. Click New and update the following fields:
l IP Address— Enter the IP Address of the new SNMP Trap receiver.
l Version— Select the SNMP version— v1, v2c, v3 from the drop-down list. The version specifies the
format of traps generated by the access point.
l Community/Username— Specify the community string for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps and a
username for SNMPv3 traps.
l Port— Enter the port to which the traps are sent. The default value is 162.
l Inform— When enabled, traps are sent as SNMP INFORM messages. It is applicable to SNMPv3 only.
The default value is Yes.
4. Click OK to view the trap receiver information in the SNMP Trap Receivers window.
In the CLI
To configure SNMP traps:
(Instant AP)(config)# snmp-server host <IP-address> {version 1 | version 2 | version 3} <name>
udp-port <port> inform
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Instant supports SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs) along with Dell-MIBs. For information about
MIBs and SNMP traps, see Dell Networking W-Series Instant MIB Reference Guide.
