Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
Trap Receivers and Authentication Traps
Trap Features
A
trap receiver
is a management station designated by the switch to receive
SNMP traps sent from the switch. An authentication trap is a specialized
SNMP trap sent to trap receivers when an unauthorized management station
tries to access the switch.
N o t e
Fixed or "Well-Known" Traps: The Series 4100GL switches automatically
sends fixed traps (such as "coldStart", "warmStart", "linkDown", and "linkUp")
to trap receivers using the
public community name. These traps cannot be
redirected to other communities. Thus, if you change or delete the default
public
community name, these traps will be lost.
Thresholds: The switch automatically sends all messages resulting from
thresholds to the network management station(s) that set the thresholds,
regardless of the trap receiver configuration.
In the default configuration, there are no trap receivers configured, and the
authentication trap feature is disabled. From the CLI you can configure up to
ten SNMP trap receivers to receive SNMP traps from the switch. As an option,
you can also configure the switch to send Event Log messages as traps. CLI:
