Outputting System Information to the SNMP Module
The SNMP module receives the trap information only, and discards the log and debugging information
even if you have configured to output them to the SNMP module.
To monitor the device running status, trap information is usually sent to the SNMP network management
station (NMS). In this case, you need to configure to send traps to the SNMP module, and then set the
trap sending parameters for the SNMP module to further process traps. For details, refer to
SNMP
Configuration
in the
System Volume
.
Follow these steps to configure to output system information to the SNMP module:

Configuring Synchronous Information Output
Synchronous information output refers to the feature that if the user’s input is interrupted by system
output such as log, trap, or debugging information, then after the completion of system output the
system will display a command line prompt (a prompt in command editing mode, or a [Y/N] string in
interaction mode) and your input so far.
This command is used in the case that your input is interrupted by a large amount of system output.
With this feature enabled, you can continue your operations from where you were stopped.
