Legrand PDU User Guide 203
To send SNMP v2c notifications:
1. In the Notification Type field, select SNMPv2c Trap or SNMPv2c Inform.
2. For SNMP INFORM communications, leave the resend settings at their default or do the following:
a. In the Timeout field, specify the interval of time, in seconds, after which a new inform communication
is resent if the first is not received. For example, resend a new inform communication once every 3
seconds.
b. In the Number of Retries field, specify the number of times you want to resend the inform
communication if it fails. For example, inform communications are resent up to 5 times when the
initial communication fails.
3. In the Host fields, enter the IP address of the device(s) you want to access. This is the address to which
notifications are sent by the SNMP system agent.
4. In the Port fields, enter the port number used to access the device(s).
5. In the Community fields, enter the SNMP community string to access the device(s). The community is
the group representing the Legrand PDU and all SNMP management stations.
Tip: An SNMP v2c notification action permits only a maximum of three SNMP destinations. To assign more
than three SNMP destinations to a specific rule, first create several SNMP v2c notification actions, each of
which contains completely different SNMP destinations, and then add all of these SNMP v2c notification
actions to the same rule.
To send SNMP v3 notifications:
1. In the Notification Type field, select SNMPv3 Trap or SNMPv3 Inform.
2. For SNMP TRAPs, the engine ID is prepopulated.
3. For SNMP INFORM communications, leave the resend settings at their default or do the following:
a. In the Timeout field, specify the interval of time, in seconds, after which a new inform communication
is resent if the first is not received. For example, resend a new inform communication once every 3
seconds.
b. In the Number of Retries field, specify the number of times you want to resend the inform
communication if it fails. For example, inform communications are resent up to 5 times when the
initial communication fails.
4. For both SNMP TRAPS and INFORMS, enter the following as needed and then click OK to apply the
settings:
a. Host
name
b. Port
number
c. User ID for accessing the host -- make sure the User ID has the SNMPv3 permission.
d. Select the host security level
