SNMP validation

You can validate and troubleshoot your SNMP settings by configuring a log target.

If your SNMP monitoring software does not receive SNMP notifications from the appliance, you can test SNMP notifications by configuring an SNMP log target. With an SNMP log target, you can subscribe to reproducible events, such as commands that you enter. The notifications are sent to the SNMP monitoring software that you defined in your SNMP settings.

Complete the following tasks to validate your SNMP settings:

1. Create an SNMP log target that subscribes to CLI events.
2. Test that the SNMP log target captures the CLI events.
3. Add event subscriptions to the SNMP settings for messages that you want to capture.

If further troubleshooting is required, you can capture SNMP traffic with the packet capture feature.
