1 The Trap IP Address and Community String fields can be set using a MIB table (in a Nortel Networks
proprietary MIB). The status of the row in the MIB table can be set to Ignore. If the row status is set to Ignore,
the fields appear to be set when viewed from the console terminal; however, no traps will be sent to that
address until the row status is set to Valid.
Choose System Characteristics (or press s) from the main menu.
