• Create — Adds the IP address and port number of the external
application to the list of registered addresses that will be sent SNMP
traps.
•
Delete — Allows you to delete a selected IP address and port number.
•
Test — Verifies only that the library has sent SNMP traps to all
registered IP addresses. Check the external applications to verify that
the traps were received.
While the test is in progress, the
Progress Window appears. If the test
is successful,
Success appears in the Progress Window and the traps
were successfully sent. If the test is unsuccessful,
Failure appears in
the
Progress Window. Follow the instructions listed in the Progress
Window
to resolve any issues that occur during the operation.
See the Scalar i500 Basic SNMP Reference Guide (6-01370-xx) for further
configuration and access details.
The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:

Enabling SNMP Versions
3
The library supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3.
Administrators can enable or disable support for SNMP v1 and v2c. The
recommended practice is to disable SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c in highly
secure environments.
SNMP v3 is always enabled and cannot be disabled. The authentication
algorithm is set to MD5, and the encryption is disabled system-wide.
See the Scalar i500 Basic SNMP Reference Guide (6-01370-xx) for further
configuration and access details.
Note: This operation should not be performed concurrently by
multiple administrators logged in from different locations.
You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply
changes while another administrator is performing the same
operation.
