Setting the SNMP Trap Destination
Each management workstation designated to receive SNMP traps from the CSX400 must have a
valid IP address and community name. To set and enable SNMP trap destination, perform the
following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Trap Destination field that you want to modify.
2. Type the IP address of the management workstation designated to receive SNMP traps from the
CSX400. This address must be entered in DDN format.
For example: 134.141.25.17
3. Press ENTER. If the IP address entered was a valid format, the cursor returns to the beginning
of the Trap Destination IP address field. If the entry was not valid, the Event Message field
displays “INVALID IP ADDRESS OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not
alter the current value and refreshes the Trap Destination IP address field with the previous
value.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Trap Community Name field (on the same row as the Trap
Destination field).
5. Type the community name of the management workstation. The community name indicates the
“access level” of traps that will be forwarded to the Trap destination.
6. Press ENTER.
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Enable Traps field (on the same row as the Trap
Destination and Trap Community Name you have just configured). The default setting for this
field is NO.
8. Press the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE to set the field to YES.
9. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field.
10. Press ENTER. The Event Message field at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”.
11. Repeat this procedure as necessary to set each Trap Destination.
