Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) | 951
To configure the system from the management station using SNMP:
Subscribe to Managed Object Value Updates using SNMP
By default, the Dell Force10 system displays some unsolicited SNMP messages (traps) upon certain events
and conditions. You can also configure the system to send the traps to a management station. Traps cannot
be saved on the system.
FTOS supports the following three sets of traps:
• RFC 1157-defined traps: coldStart, warmStart, linkDown, linkUp, authenticationFailure,
egpNeighbborLoss
• Force10 enterpriseSpecific environment traps: fan, supply, temperature
• Force10 enterpriseSpecific protocol traps: bgp, ecfm, stp, xstp
To configure the system to send SNMP notifications:
Identify the physical location of the system. For example, San
Jose, 350 Holger Way, 1st floor lab, rack A1-1. You may use up
to 55 characters.
Default: None
