Configure SNMP Trap Message Recipients

Perform this procedure to configure community names, write authorizations, and

network addresses for up to 6 SNMP trap message recipients per switch and up to

12 SNMP trap message recipients per HAFM appliance. A trap recipient is a

management workstation that receives notification (through SNMP) if a switch

event occurs.

To configure SNMP trap recipients:

1. Click Configure at the left side of the window. The Configure window opens

with the Ports tab displayed.

2. At the Configure window, click the Management tab. The Management

page displays with SNMP tab selected (Figure 49).

a. For each trap recipient to be configured, enter a community name of 32 or

fewer alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name field.

The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure

against unauthorized viewing or use.

b. Click the check box in the Write Authorization column to enable or

disable write authorization for the trap recipient (default is disabled). A

check mark in the box indicates write authorization is enabled. When the

feature is enabled, a management workstation user can change

sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation SNMP variables.
