SNMP Trap Configuration
◆ Trap Mode - Enables or disables SNMP traps. (Default: Disabled) You should enable
SNMP traps so that key events are reported by this switch to your management station.
Traps indicating status changes can be issued by the switch to the specified trap manager
by sending authentication failure messages and other trap messages.
◆ Trap Version - Indicates if the target user is running SNMP v1, v2c, or v3. (Default: SNMP
v1)
◆ Trap Community - Specifies the community access string to use when sending SNMP
trap packets. (Range: 0-255 characters, ASCII characters 33-126 only; Default: public)
◆ Trap Destination Address - IPv4 address of the management station to receive
notification messages.
◆ Trap Destination IPv6 Address - IPv6 address of the management station to receive
notification messages. An IPv6 address must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double
colon may be used to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the
undefined fields.
◆ Trap Authentication Failure - Issues a notification message to specified IP trap
managers whenever authentication of an SNMP request fails. (Default: Enabled)
◆ Trap Link-up and Link-down - Issues a notification message whenever a port link is
established or broken. (Default: Enabled)
◆ Trap Inform Mode - Enables or disables sending notifications as inform messages. Note
that this option is only available for version 2c and 3 hosts. (Default: traps are used)
The recipient of a trap message does not send a response to the switch. Traps are
therefore not as reliable as inform messages, which include a request for
acknowledgement of receipt. Informs can be used to ensure that critical information is
received by the host. However, note that informs consume more system resources
because they must be kept in memory until a response is received. Informs also add to
network traffic. You should consider these effects when deciding whether to issue
notifications as traps or informs.
◆ Trap Inform Timeout - The number of seconds to wait for an acknowledgment before
resending an inform message. (Range: 0-2147 seconds; Default: 1 second)
◆ Trap Inform Retry Times - The maximum number of times to resend an inform message
if the recipient does not acknowledge receipt. (Range: 0-255; Default: 5)
◆ Trap Probe Security Engine ID (SNMPv3) - Specifies whether or not to use the engine
ID of the SNMP trap probe in trap and inform messages. (Default: Enabled)
◆ Trap Security Engine ID (SNMPv3) - Indicates the SNMP trap security engine ID.
SNMPv3 sends traps and informs using USM for authentication and privacy. A unique
engine ID for these traps and informs is needed. When “Trap Probe Security Engine ID” is
