SNMP Traps

Use the Settings > SNMP Traps page to view and add SNMP trap destinations. You can also specify trap severity preferences, send a test trap, and download the IBM 3584 management information base (MIB).

Specifying a destination for SNMP traps

Up to five SNMP destinations can be specified.

To create a new SNMP destination, click Create Destination and enter the IP address and port number for the SNMP manager (the default port for SNMP traps is 162), then specify the trap severity level that you wish to send (error, warning, and/or info).

The Actions menu has the following options for each SNMP destination:

• Modify – Change the settings for the destination.
• Delete – Delete the destination.
• Send Test Trap – Send a test trap to the destination.

SNMP traps are sent automatically whenever there is a working connection to an SNMP destination. There is no way to disable traps. However, if no severity level is specified, no traps will be sent.

Downloading the IBM 3584 MIB

To download the IBM 3584 MIB, select Actions > Download SNMP MIB File and save the file, then move the MIB to the MIB storage area in your SNMP manager.
