Autonomous Alarm Messages
You can configure the system to generate autonomous alarm messages that can be received and displayed by an
SNMP-based network management system (NMS).
By default, the system does not generate SNMP traps. To allow the generation of SNMP traps, you must first
configure the IP address of the NMS host device or devices to which you wish to direct the traps.
To configure the system as an SNMP trap sender for an SNMP trap receiver, see Figure 12 and follow these
steps:
1.
Select the
SYSTEM
folder from the navigation menu.
2.
From the expanded
SYSTEM
folder, select
Management Access
.
3.
From the expanded
Management Access
folder, select
Trap Receiver.
4.
On the
SNMP Trap Receivers
page, click on
Add
.
5.
In the
Add New Trap Receiver
page, type the
Trap Receiver Address
and
Community String
.
Note
The community string controls access between a client (the OS-10
system) and a server (the NMS host).
6.
Set the
Version
to configure the system to send SNMP
V1
or
V2
traps.
7.
Type the
Source Agent Address
of the SNMP agent.
Note
The OS-10 generates SNMP traps that contain the IP address of the
source agent. By default, the system uses the address of the Ethernet
LAN management port as the source agent address. However, you
may use another address (for example, the inband management chan-
nel address) according to the routing settings for the system.
8.
Click on
Close
to close the window.
At this point, the
Trap Receivers
page displays the settings for the new receiver.
