Configuring Traps
Configuring Trap Conditions
You can optionally configure which traps that the 8275-416 should generate. You do
this by selecting a status for the trap condition, that is, if it is either enabled or
disabled. If a trap condition is enabled and the condition is detected, 8275-416 ’s
SNMP agent sends the trap to all enabled trap receivers. Otherwise, no condition is
detected and no trap is sent. The default Status value for all Trap Conditions is
Enabled. The 8275-416 does not have to be reset to implement the changes. Warm
start and cold start traps are always generated; there are no associated trap
conditions.
To configure trap conditions, select Trap Menu from the Management Menu, the
select you condition to configure from the Trap Menu. Your choices are viewing the
trap log, enabling/disabling trap flags, and checking the trap log status.
Figure 22 shows the trap flags that you can set.

Authentication Failure:
