SNMP traps
Trap Receivers.
Path: Administration > Notification > SNMP Traps > trap receivers
View trap receivers by NMS IP/Host Name. You can configure up to six trap receivers.
To configure a new trap receiver, click Add Trap Receiver.
To modify or delete a trap receiver, first click its IP address or host name to access its settings. (If
you delete a trap receiver, all notification settings configured under Event Actions for the deleted
trap receiver are set to their default values.)
To specify the trap type for a trap receiver, select either the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 radio button.
For an NMS to receive both types of traps, you must configure two trap receivers for that NMS,
one for each trap type.
E-mail
Generation
Enables (by default) or disables sending e-mail to the recipient.
SMTP Server Select one of the following methods for routing e-mail:
Local: Through the Management Card’s SMTP server. This setting (recommended) ensures
that the e-mail is sent before the Management Card’s 20-second time-out, and, if necessary,
is retried several times. Also do one of the following:
• Enable forwarding at the Management Card’s SMTP server so that it can route e-mail to
external SMTP servers. Typically, SMTP servers are not configured to forward e-mail.
Check with the administrator of your SMTP server before changing its configuration to
allow forwarding.
• Set up a special e-mail account for the Management Card to forward e-mail to an external
mail account.
Recipient: Directly to the recipient’s SMTP server. With this setting, the Management Card
tries to send the e-mail only once. On a busy remote SMTP server, the time-out may prevent
some e-mail from being sent.
When the recipient uses the Management Card’s SMTP server, this setting has no effect.
Format The long format contains Name, Location, Contact, IP address, serial number of the device,
date and time, event code, and event description. The short format provides only the event
description.
Language Chose a language from the drop-down list and any mails will be sent in that language. It is
possible to use different languages for different users.
