Endurance VFT MIB and SNMP Implementation A-23
Configuring SNMP to Send Traps to Remote
Management Systems
At any time after the SNMP files are installed, you can configure SNMP to send traps to
additional remote management systems, which can be running Windows or any other operating
system that supports the SNMP protocol. To enable the receipt of the traps, you must also
configure the remote management systems.
If the remote client is a Windows server, it must be running the Windows SNMP Trap Service.
If the remote management system is not running the SNMP Trap Service, install it.
If the remote management system is running any other operating system, it must also be
configured to receive SNMP traps. In that case, refer to the appropriate operating system
documentation for information about how to enable the receipt of SNMP traps.
