where necessary information has to be entered and other options such as Start, Stop, Trap Details,
Delete Trap and ParserEditor.
Follow these steps to work on the Trap Viewer and to know more about the available options:
•
By default the value in the
Port
text field is 162. Enter the desired port in the field on which
the viewer will listen.

traps as desired, depending on the SNMP configuration of your SmartNode 1000 or 2000
