Configuring SNMP trap message recipients

Perform this procedure to configure community names, write authorizations, and network addresses

for up to 12 SNMP trap message recipients per HAFM appliance or up to 6 SNMP trap message

recipients per Edge Switch. A trap recipient is a management workstation that receives notification

(through SNMP) if an Edge Switch event occurs.

1. At the Hardware view for the selected Edge Switch, select Configure > SNMP Agent.

The Configure SNMP Agent dialog box is displayed (Figure 24).

a. For each trap recipient to be configured, enter a community name of 64 or fewer

alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name box.

The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure against

unauthorized viewing or use.

b. Select or clear the Write Authorization check box to enable or disable write authorization for

the trap recipient (default is disabled).

A check mark in the box indicates write authorization is enabled. When the feature is

enabled, a management workstation user can change the HAFM appliance’s

sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation SNMP variables.

c. Enter the IP address or DNS host name of the trap recipient (SNMP management

workstation) in the associated Trap Recipient box. Use 32 or fewer alphanumeric characters.

HP recommends using the IP address.

datagram protocol (UDP) port number for trap recipients (default is 162).

2. To enable transmission of trap messages to configured SNMP management workstations, select
