Configuring SNMP Traps
The ePDU automatically keeps an internal log of events that occur. See Setting Up
Event Logging" on page 68 of Chapter 6, Using the Web interface" for more
information. These events can also be used to send SNMP traps to a third party
manager.
To configure ePDU to send SNMP traps:
1. Choose Device Settings −−> Event Log. The Event Log Settings window opens. The
SNMP Logging panel controls the use of SNMP traps.
