5.2.5 SNMP Trap Group
An event log can be configured to send events to SNMP trap receivers by specifying
an SNMP trap group destination.
An SNMP trap group can have multiple trap targets. Each trap target can have
different operational parameters.
A trap destination has the following properties:
• the IP address of the trap receiver (IPv4 or IPv6)
• the UDP port used to send the SNMP trap
• SNMP version (v1, v2c, or v3) used to format the SNMP notification
• SNMP community name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c receivers
• security name and level for SNMPv3 trap receivers
For SNMP traps that will be sent out-of-band through the Management Ethernet port
on the CSM, the source IP address of the trap is the IP interface address defined on
the Management Ethernet port. For SNMP traps that will be sent in-band, the source
IP address of the trap is the system IP address of the 7705 SAR.
Each trap target destination of a trap group receives the identical sequence of events
as defined by the log ID and the associated sources and log filter applied.
5.2.6 Syslog
An event log can be configured to send events to one syslog destination. Syslog
destinations have the following properties:
• syslog server IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
• the UDP port used to send the syslog message
• the Syslog Facility Code
• the Syslog Severity Threshold (0 to 7) (events exceeding the configured level
will be sent)
Because syslog uses eight severity levels, whereas the 7705 SAR uses six internal
severity levels, the severity levels are mapped to syslog severities. Table 30 displays
the severity level mappings to syslog severities.
