CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION

EMM-E6 User’s Guide
For any SNMP Trap-generating network devices not residing on the same
subnet as the network management station, the default Subnet Mask
utilized on that device must be altered to match the subnet scheme. In the
above example, the default Subnet Mask is modified from
255. 255. 255. 0 to 255. 255. 255. 240. For each SNMP Trap-generating
device with a modified Subnet Mask, a Default Gateway is assigned. In
the event that any of the custom-masked devices generated an SNMP Trap
for the network management station, a comparison of the Subnet Mask
and the Network ID indicates that the SNMP Trap should be sent to that
subnet’s Default Gateway to be routed to the subnet where the network
management station resides. The procedures for modifying the Subnet
Mask and configuring the Default Gateway through Local Management
may be found in Chapter 7 of this User’s Guide, which deals with the
Configuration Screen.
