DP-503-F4A3 RAID SUBSYSTEM
68 Installation and User Manual
3.9.5 SNMP Configuration
The SNMP gives users independence from the proprietary network management schemes of some
manufacturers and SNMP is supported by many WAN and LAN manufacturers enabling true LAN/ WAN
management integration.
To set the SNMP function, move the cursor to the main menu and click on the SNMP
Configuration link. The RAID subsystem’s SNMP Configurations screen will be shown.
Select the desired function and set the preferred option.
SNMP Trap Configurations: Type in the SNMP Trap IP Address box the IP address of the host
system where SNMP traps will be sent. The SNMP Port is set to 162 by default.
SNMP System Configuration:
Community: Type the SNMP community. The default is public.
(1) sysContact.0 , (2) sysLocation.0 , and (3) sysName.0 : SNMP parameter (31 bytes max).
If these 3 categories are configured and when an event occurs, SNMP will send out a message
that includes the 3 categories within the message. This allows user to easily define which
RAID unit is having problem.
SNMP Trap Notification Configurations: Select the desired option.
After completing the settings, tick on the Confirm The Operation and click on the Submit button
to save the configuration.
SNMP also works in the same as Alert By Mail when sending event notifications.
