SNMP/SYSLOG Settings
Clicking Configure Network > SNMP Syslog takes you to the SNMP/SYSLOG Settings page, which
allows you to configure settings for SNMP traps and system log (SYSLOG) messages.
Figure 3-156: SNMP/SYSLOG Settings page
Information captured by an SNMP trap or a SYSLOG message is similar to the information send in an E-Alert
(see
E-Alert Settings on page 212), except that it is sent to an SNMP Management Station or system log.
Notes:
If you use SNMP traps, you must parse the trap MIB (Management Information Base) into your application.
Use the
MIB links in the Help section at the bottom of the page to download the MIB for SNMP v1 and v2c.
Only SNMP traps are available; there is no general SNMP management capability in the unit.
