Enable Trap Generation Enables generation of SNMP traps to configured SNMP trap receivers. Refer to the list of
traps in the “SNMP traps” section below for a list of traps that are generated by the Dell
controller.
Trap receivers Host information about a trap receiver. This host needs to be running a trap receiver to
receive and interpret the traps sent by the Dell controller. Configure the following for each
host/trap receiver:
z IP address
z SNMP version: can be 1 or 2c.
z Community string
z UDP port on which the trap receiver is listening for traps. The default is the UDP port
number 162. This is optional, and will use the default port number if not modified by the
user.
If you are using SNMPv3 to obtain values from the Dell controller, you can configure the following parameters:
User name A string representing the name of the user.
Authentication protocol An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, and
if so, the type of authentication protocol used. This can take one of the two values:
z MD5: HMAC-MD5-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
z SHA: HMAC-SHA-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
Authentication protocol password If messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, the (private) authentication
key for use with the authentication protocol. This is a string password for MD5 or SHA
depending on the choice above.
Privacy protocol An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can be protected from
disclosure, and if so, the type of privacy protocol which is used. This takes the value DES
(CBC-DES Symmetric Encryption Protocol).
Privacy protocol password If messages sent on behalf of this user can be encrypted/decrypted with DES, the
(private) privacy key for use with the privacy protocol.
