CONFIGURING TRAP RECEIVERS
Trap receivers are network management stations (NMSs) that are designated to receive SNMP
traps (messages) sent by the management card. The management card can send traps to multiple
trap receivers. However, trap receivers are not required to operate the Avidia system.
You configure trap receivers from the ::trap=> prompt. From the ::root=> prompt, type
the following command then press to display the ::trap=> prompt.
configuration snmp trap
Adding Trap Receivers
You can configure up to 32 trap receivers using the command-line interface. From the
::trap=> prompt, type the new command in the following format then press .
new <index> <ipaddr> <subnetmask> <community> (snmpv1|snmpv2c)
Parameters

The IP address of the trap receiver (format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
<subnetmask>
The subnet mask of the trap receiver (format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

management card do not contain this community string, the trap receiver rejects the traps.
