Configuring SNMP Values 97
Configuring a Trap
Destination
To set up a destination for SNMP traps, use this command at the EME
prompt:
set snmp trap destination <community name> <ip address>
Where
<community>
is the community string of the selected trap where
you want to send the trap and
<number>
is the IP address of the trap
receiver.
Configuring the
Authentication Alert
Setting
To enable or disable the feature that sends an alert to the management
workstation when someone tries to gain access to the EME and the IP
address or community name is not valid for the attempted read or write
operation, use following commands at the prompt:
set snmp trap filter authentication disable
set snmp trap filter authentication enable
Configuring Trap
Options
As a trap receiver, the EME receives traps from other SNMP devices,
including switching modules in the chassis, that have the EME IP address
in their Community Table. For example, to allow an EME to function as
the trap receiver for other SNMP devices on the network, use the
following command:
CB9000> set snmp trap receive enable
To enable that device to send traps to the EME, add the EME IP address to
that device's Community Table.
To disable the ability of the EME to receive SNMP traps, use:
CB9000> set snmp trap receive disable
You can also configure the following EME trap characteristics:
■
Alert transmission — You can configure the EME to transmit an SNMP
trap to trap receivers that you define, and you can specify the system
events that trigger these alerts.
■
Trap receivers — You can specify the network management stations
that receive alerts from the EME. To do so, you must create a new
community table entry for each network management station.
SNMP traps are transmitted only through an in-band IP routing interface.
