SNMP Trap Configuration
The SNMP trap configuration defines how traps are set. Choose from the tabs Trap1 – Trap 5
to configure each trap. Table 17 describes the SNMP configuration parameters.
Remote Logging parameter
The Remote Logging (syslog) parameter enables saving of the log information to a remote
host that supports the syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are sent to the syslog host
at the IP address entered in the Logging Host IP Address box. Log entries are saved in the
internal switch log whether this feature is enabled or not.
Location Specifies the name (up to 64 characters) for the switch
location.
The default is “undefined”.
Authentication Trap Enables or disables the reporting of SNMP authentication
failures. If enabled, a notification trap is sent when incorrect
community string values are used.
The default is “False”.
Write Community Write community password (up to 32 characters) that
authorizes an SNMP agent to write information to the switch.
This is a write-only box. The value on the switch and the
SNMP management server must be the same.
The default is “private”.
