7.4 Configuring SNMP Traps
Use the SNMP Trap Configuration screen to enable or disable individual traps or by functional trap groups. It
is also used for modifying the existing threshold conditions values for individual trap descriptions. Refer to the
tabs within the SNMP Trap Configuration screen to conduct the following configuration activities:
• Enabling Trap Configuration
• Configuring Trap Thresholds
7.4.1 Enabling Trap Configuration
If unsure whether to enable a specific trap, select it and view a brief description that may help your decision.
Use Expand all items to explode each trap category and view all the traps that can be enabled. Traps can
either be enabled by group or as individual traps within each parent category.
To configure SNMP trap definitions:
1. Select Management Access > SNMP Trap Configuration from the main menu tree.
2. Select the Allow Traps to be generated checkbox to enable the selection (and employment) of all
the traps within the screen. Leaving the checkbox unselected means traps must be enabled by
category or individually.
3. Refer to trap categories within the Configuration screen to determine whether traps should be
enabled by group or individually enabled within parent groups.
4. Select an individual trap, by expanding the node in the tree view, to view a high-level description of
this specific trap within the Trap Description field. You can also select a trap family category
heading (such as "Redundancy" or "NSM") to view a high-level description of the traps within that
trap category.
