Configuring Trap Managers via SNMP

The snmpTargetMIB interface is available for configuring trap managers.

➢

To add an SNMPv2 trap destination:

■

Add a row to the snmpTargetAddrTable with these values: Name=trapN, TagList=AC_TRAP, Params=v2cparams, where N is an unused number between 0 and 4

All changes to the trap destination configuration take effect immediately.

➢

To add an SNMPv3 trap destination:

1.

Add a row to the snmpTargetAddrTable with these values: Name=trapN, TagList=AC_TRAP, Params=usm<user>, where N is an unused number between 0 and 4, and <user> is the name of the SNMPv3 that this user is associated with.

2.

If a row does not already exist for this combination of user and SecurityLevel, add a row to the snmpTargetParamsTable with these values: Name=usm<user>, MPModel=3(SNMPv3), SecurityModel=3 (usm), SecurityName=<user>, SecurityLevel=M, where M is either 1(noAuthNoPriv), 2(authNoPriv) or 3(authPriv).

All changes to the trap destination configuration take effect immediately.

➢

To delete a trap destination:

■

Remove the appropriate row from the snmpTargetAddrTable.

■

If this is the last trap destination associated with this user and security level, you could also delete the appropriate row from the snmpTargetParamsTable.

➢

To modify a trap destination:

You can change the IP address and or port number for an existing trap destination. The same effect can be achieved by removing a row and adding a new row.

■

Modify the IP address and/or port number for the appropriate row in the snmpTargetAddrTable.

➢

To disable a trap destination:

■

Change TagList on the appropriate row in the snmpTargetAddrTable to the empty string.

➢

To enable a trap destination:

■

Change TagList on the appropriate row in the snmpTargetAddrTable to ‘AC_TRAP’.

■

Change TagList on the appropriate row in the snmpTargetAddrTable to "AC_TRAP".
