Individual alarms or events are assigned as Traps to one of the four specific SNMP destinations.
Assignment of the alarm and events is performed under the “Alarm Notification” link under the main
configuration “Settings” tab. The sample screen for this configuration follows.
Community Strings
SNMP Community Strings can serve as trap destinations as well as passwords or user IDs for network
elements. The community name assigns an access environment for a set of SNMP Hosts or Agents
using that community name. An SNMP Host or Agent within the community can be said to exist within
the same administrative domain. Because devices that do not know the proper community name are
precluded from SNMP operations, network management personnel can use the community name as a
weak form of authentication. Community strings can be either read only or read/write. Having this
capability provides further security by restricting the ability to alter the configuration of the managed
device.
The Pulsar Edge defaults the value of the trap community string to “public” with read/write access.
There are also up to three Set/Get community strings that can be used. These are defaulted as
“public”, “public-write”, and “private” with the last two having read/write access.
