Add SNMP destination

Use this page to add an SNMP trap destination for use in the IBM® TS7700 Grid.

To add a new SNMP trap destination:
  1. From the SNMP page, navigate to the Destination Settings table.
  2. Select Add... from the Select Action drop-down menu.
  3. Click Go to open the Add SNMP Destination page.
Enter values for the following fields:
IP Address
The IP address of the SNMP server. This value can take any of the following formats: IPv4, IPv6, a hostname resolved by the machine (such as localhost), or a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN ) if a domain name server (DNS) is provided. A value in this field is required.
A valid IPv4 address is 32 bits long, consists of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by periods, like:
98.104.120.12
A valid IPv6 address is an 128-bit long hexadecimal value separated into 16-bit fields by colons, like:
3afa:1910:2535:3:110:e8ef:ef41:91cf
Leading zeros can be omitted in each field, so that :0003: can be written as :3:. A double colon (::) can be used once per address to replace multiple fields of zeros. For example,
3afa:0:0:0:200:2535:e8ef:91cf
can be written as:
3afa::200:2535:e8ef:91cf
A fully qualified host name is a domain name that uniquely and absolutely names a computer. It is composed of the host name and the domain name. The domain name is one or more domain labels that place the computer in the DNS naming hierarchy. The host name and the domain name labels are separated by periods and the total length of the hostname cannot exceed 255 characters.
Port
The port to which the SNMP trap logs are sent. This value must be a number between 0 and 65535. A value in this field is required.

To complete the operation click OK. To abandon the operation and return to the SNMP page, click Cancel.
