Using Traps to Monitor Performance
Using SNMP traps
parameter specifies none . In most circumstances, accept the default settings for the other
parameters in the SNMPv3USM Users profile.
Table 9-1 summarizes the SNMPv3 USM-related parameters in the SNMPv3 USM Users
profile.
Using SNMP traps
A trap is a mechanism for reporting system change in real time (for example, reporting an
incoming call to a serial host port). When a trap is generated by some condition, a traps-PDU
(Protocol Data Unit) is sent across the Ethernet to the SNMP manager.
Following are the parameters related to setting SNMP traps (shown with sample settings):
