SNMP Trap Message Commands
When the switch detects an extraordinary event, it generates a trap. A trap is a
notification message that may be sent to predefined Network Manager
Stations. A trap event may be a reset (cold or warm), detection of an interface
link status change, an SNMP authentication failure due to an incorrect com-
munity string, etc.
The SNMP trap commands let you manage:
· Whether or not the MegaSwitch issues an authentication trap
· The list of selected Network Manager Stations to which the switch-
generated traps will be sent by the SNMP agent. The list has a maximum
capacity of five entries.
get-auth
Displays the Authentication Trap mode: enabled or disabled.
set-auth
Usage:
set-auth {enable|disable}
This command allows the user to modify the Authentication Trap mode. The
default value is on, meaning that the switch will generate authentication traps.
Changing the mode to off will cause the switch to avoid sending authentica-
tion traps.
get-traps
Displays the list of traps-receiving stations: their IP address and trap SNMP
community string.
