C.8 SNMP
The path to SNMP is Main menu, <3> System, <7> SNMP. The SNMP sub-menu allows you to setup the
various SNMP parameters associated with this DS2000-TS. This setup will be necessary in order to use
SNMP to configure the unit remotely or use the SNMP trap generator to report port Link Status changes to a
remote network management server. The DS2000-TS can send TRAPS (Port status changes) to as many as
four remote systems. Enter the IP address of the remote servers and enable the “Enable Trap” field. The
Traps generated will include a status of up/down/time and Port Number.
