SNMP Trap Server DNS Usage
The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the trap server only
needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The
default SNMP trap server addresses for all 10 available servers is 0.0.0.0 with the appending of the
DNS domain name disabled.
Trap Address
1 to 10
Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to which SNMP traps should be sent. Traps
inform Prizm or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent
• after a reboot of the module.
• when an NMS attempts to access agent information but either
o supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number.
o is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed.
Trap Enable, Sync Status
If you want sync status traps (sync lost and sync regained) sent to Prizm or an NMS, select
Enabled. If you want these traps suppressed, select Disabled.
Trap Enable, Session Status
If you want session status traps sent to Prizm or an NMS, select Enabled. For the names and
descriptions of session status traps, see Traps Provided in the Canopy Enterprise MIB on Page
497. If you want these traps suppressed, select Disabled.
