How to Send SNMP Traps
10.2
1. Click on the
SNMP
button in the
Provisioning
menu. Enter the
SNMP GET
and
SNMP SET
community strings
for your network, then click
Save
. The typical SNMP SET and GET community strings for network devices is
"public". As an added security measure, we've made our default "dps_public".
2. Click on the
Notifications
button in the
Provisioning
menu. You can setup as many as 8 different notifications.
Begin the setup "wizard" by clicking
Edit
for a notification number. In this example, we'll setup Notification 4 to send
SNMP traps to your alarm master.
3. At the
Notification Setting
screen, use the drop down box to set what events to use for this notification. Now,
select the
Send SNMP Notification
button and click Next.
4. At the
SNMP Notification
screen, you'll enter your network's SNMP settings. Enter the
IP address
of your
SNMP Trap Server. Enter the
Trap Port Number
(usually 162) and the
Trap Community
password. Click
Save
and Next
.
