Configuring Trap Managers via Host Name

One of the five available SNMP managers can be defined using the manager's host name (i.e., FQDN). This can be configured using the ini file parameter [SNMPTrapManagerHostName].

When this parameter value is defined for this trap, the device at start up tries to resolve the host name. Once the name is resolved (i.e., the IP address is found), the resolved IP address replaces the last entry of the trap manager table (defined by the parameter [SNMPManagerTableIP_x]) and the last trap manager entry of snmpTargetAddrTable in the snmpTargetMIB. The port is 162 (unless specified otherwise). The row is marked as 'used' and the sending is 'enabled'.

When using 'host name' resolution, any changes made by the user to this row in either MIBs are overwritten by the device when a resolving is redone (once an hour).
