SNMP Trap configuration
The RamSan has the ability to send unsolicited messages to
managers when it detects a significant event. The SNMP standard
refers to this type of message as a “trap.”
The RamSan supports the following traps:
•
Power on notification – indicates that the system has turned on
•
Power off notification – indicates that a shutdown sequence has
been initiated
•
Power state notification – indicates that the power state has
changed
•
Memory state notification – indicates that the memory state
has changed
•
Battery state notification – indicates that the battery state has
changed
•
Fan state notification – indicates that a fan state has changed
•
Disk state notification – indicates that the disk state has
changed
•
Fibre Channel state notification – indicates that a fibre channel
controller state has changed
•
LUN change notification – indicates that the LUN table has been
changed
•
Fibre Channel configuration change notification – indicates that
the configuration of the fibre channel controller has changed
•
System message – contains additional system details
All traps are enabled by default.
You can specify a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent
by the RamSan go the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers,
typically one or more host devices on the network. The RamSan
sends all the SNMP traps to the specified host(s) and includes the
specified community strings.
To specify the host to which the RamSan sends all SNMP traps, use
one of the following methods:
Via Text Management
•
From the Telnet Main Menu, select “Management setup”
•
Select “Configure SNMP”
The top of this menu displays the current SNMP settings.
To add a trap receiver to the list of Trap IPs:
•
Select “Add IP address to the trap list”
•
Enter the IP address of the trap receiver and press [ENTER]
To remove a trap receiver from the list of Trap IPs:
•
Select “Remove IP address from the trap list”
•
Select the IP to be removed and press [ENTER]
