Toolpack:Creating an SNMP Trap Destination A

SNMP traps are automatically generated on TMedia platforms by the NetSNMP installation, which monitors hardware and software interfaces registered with the ifTable of the IF-MIB module. When the operation status of an interface changes, a trap is generated by NetSNMP, and sent to a destination address for processing. In order for this mechanic to function, an SNMP trap destination must be defined in the Web Portal.
To create an SNMP trap destination, carry out the following steps:

• Click Create New SNMP Trap Destination under the SNMP Trap Destinations heading

• In the trap destination configuration panel, set the following parameters if you are creating a trap destination for SNMPv1/v2:
  • Enter a name to identify the trap destination
  • Enter a destination IP Address for sending generated traps
  • Enter a destination port number, on which to send generated traps (standard default value is 162)
  • Click on the SNMP Version drop-down box and select version 1 or 2
  • Enter the name of the SNMPv1/v2 community to use (configured previously)
  • Click Create
