Specifying Trap Managers
Traps indicating status changes are issued by the switch to specified trap managers.
You must specify trap managers so that key events are reported by this switch to
your management station (using network management platforms such as HP
OpenView). You can specify up to five management stations that will receive
authentication failure messages and other trap messages from the switch.
Command Usage
• You can enable or disable authentication messages via the Web interface.
• You can enable or disable authentication messages, link-up-down messages, or
all notification types via the CLI.
Command Attributes
• Trap Manager Capability – Indicates that the switch supports up to five trap
managers.
• Current – Displays a list of the trap managers currently configured.
• Trap Manager IP Address – IP address of a new management station to receive
trap messages.
• Trap Manager Community String – Specifies a valid community string for the
new trap manager entry. Though you can set this string in the Trap Managers table,
we recommend that you define this string in the SNMP Protocol table as well.
