SNMP traps
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) provides a means to monitor and control network

authentication and privacy protocols.
The Management application allows you to configure SNMP traps. The SNMP configuration tasks
are described in the following sections.
• “Defining filters”
• “Adding a trap recipient to one or more switches”
• “Removing a trap recipient from one or more switches”
• “SNMP trap forwarding”
• “Adding a trap destination”
• “Adding a new trap filter”
• “Event reception”
• “Adding an SNMP v3 credential”
• “Adding an SNMP v1 or v2c community string”
• “Importing a new MIB into the Management application”
• “Trap customization”
• “Unregistering a registered trap”
• “Customizing a registered trap definition”
• “Reverting the customization of a registered trap to default”
Adding a trap recipient to one or more switches
The SNMP Trap Recipients dialog box allows you to register any recipient as a trap recipient on
selected products. You can register different recipients for different products.
NOTE
You can register and unregister other recipient servers on the Fabric OS switches on a per-fabric
basis. For IP products, you can perform registration only at the switch level.
