SNMP traps
The SNMP trap is an industry-standard method used to manage events. You can set SNMP traps
for specific types of log message (for example, warning or fatal), from specific applications, and
send them to a trap server for further processing. For example, you can configure the switch to send
SNMP traps to a server after a port is unplugged or if a power supply fails.
This document only describes SNMP commands related to traps. For more information about how to
configure SNMP community strings and related topics, see Configuring Security on Avaya Virtual
Services Platform 7200 Series and 8000 Series, NN47227-601.
Simple Network Management Protocol
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides facilities to manage and monitor
network resources. SNMP consists of:
• Agents—An agent is software that runs on a device that maintains information about device
configuration and current state in a database.
• Managers—An SNMP manager is an application that contacts an SNMP agent to query or
modify the agent database.
• The SNMP protocol—SNMP is the application-layer protocol SNMP agents and managers use
to send and receive data.
• Management Information Bases (MIB)—The MIB is a text file that specifies the managed
objects by an object identifier (OID).
