SNMP Trap Message Commands
When the switch detects an extraordinary event, it generates a trap. A trap is a
notification message that may be sent to predefined network manager stations. A trap
event may be a reset (cold or warm), detection of a interface link status change, an
SNMP authentication failure due to an incorrect community string, etc.
The SNMP trap commands let you manage:
•
Whether or not the MultiSwitch 300 issues an authentication trap
•
The list of selected network manager stations that the switch-generated traps will
be sent to by the SNMP agent. The list has a maximum capacity of five entries.
get-auth
Displays the authentication trap mode: enabled or disabled.
set-auth
Usage:
set-auth {enable|disable}
This command allows you to modify the authentication trap mode. The default value
is enable, meaning that the switch will generate authentication traps. Changing the
mode to disable causes the switch to avoid sending authentication traps.
get-trap
Displays the list of traps receiving stations: their IP address and trap SNMP community
string.
