sa3450 and sa3000 Series VPN Manager - Release 6.8.2 Release Notes

Release 6.8.2 Release Notes

Release 6.8.2 Features

SNMP Capabilities

SNMP functionality has been supplemented significantly in

Release 6.8.2.

For network monitoring purposes, seven new traps were

added to the existing Warm Start trap:

• Threshold percent per tunnel

• Maximum bytes/second per tunnel

• Aggregate threshold percent per device

• Aggregate maximum bytes/second per device

• Failed tunnel

• Tunnel up/tunnel down

• Link up/link down

To set the tunnel usage percentage threshold or the

maximum number of bytes per second for a tunnel, use the

snmp-threshold or snmp-bytes-per-sec

commands, which you access either in the VPN Manager

GUI or in the Console window. If the snmp-bytes-per-

sec command is not configured, the device uses the

theoretical maximum value, 1.25-million bytes per second,

to determine whether the trap should be sent.

To set the device usage threshold or the maximum number

of bytes per second for the device, use the snmp-

aggregate-threshold or snmp-aggregate-bytes-

per-sec command, which you access either in the VPN

Manager GUI or in the Console window. If the snmp-

aggregate-bytes-per-sec command is not

configured, the device uses the theoretical maximum

value, 1.25-million bytes per second, to determine whether

the trap should be sent.

Tunnel utilization is computed on a per-tunnel basis, as

well as on an aggregate-total basis. Each computation (per

tunnel and aggregate) includes the number of bytes per

second received through the tunnel after decryption, plus

the number of bytes per second sent down the tunnel

before encryption. The computed values are updated in the
