Accessing SNMP alerts or alarms
The SAN Router sends SNMP traps (alerts or alarms) to designated
IP addresses (workstations) where the alerts or alarms can be viewed.
In order to receive SNMP alerts, the SAN Router must be configured
to enable SNMP traps (alerts or alarms). Review the
Administration
and Configuration Manual
for information on configuring SNMP traps.
The SNMP traps are configured to be routed to specific workstations
based on IP address. The data from the SNMP alerts can be viewed
from Element Manager and SANvergence Manager. Also, there is a
utility called the TrapViewer that is shipped with SANvergence
Manager you can use to view the SNMP alerts or alarms.
