Enabling SNMP Traps

SNMP provides the ability to send traps to notify the administrator that trap conditions are met. Traps

are network packets containing data relating to network devices, or SNMP agents, that send the traps.

SNMP management applications can receive and interpret these packets, and optionally can perform

responsive actions. SNMP trap generation is programmable on a trap-by-trap basis.

Use the SNMP Traps Configuration screen to enable traps and to configure appropriate settings for

reporting this information. Trap configuration depends on the network machine that receives the

generated traps. SNMP v1/v2c and v3 trap configurations function independently. In a mixed SNMP

environment, generated traps can be sent using configurations for both SNMP v1/v2c and v3.

To configure SNMP traps on the AP35xx:

1 Select System Configuration > SNMP Access > SNMP Trap Configuration from the AP35xx menu tree.

2 Configure the SNMP v1/v2c Trap Configuration field (if SNMP v1/v2c Traps are used) to modify the

following:

Add Click Add to create a new SNMP v1/v2c Trap

Configuration entry.

Delete Click Delete to remove a selected SNMP v1/v2c Trap

Configuration entry.

Destination IP Specify a numerical (non DNS name) destination IP

address for receiving the traps sent by the AP35xx SNMP

agent.
