Community Traps

SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 can also use Community Traps to monitor servers. This Location can be configured to send community traps to the SNMP Manager. This section lists all of the community traps that have been configured for this Location. You can edit or delete any existing traps.

To add a new community trap, select Add.

Fill out the screen as follows:

  • User Group (Trap Listener): Select a User Group that will be allowed to listen to this Location to receive SNMPv1/v2 traps. This User Group must contain only one host. You may have to configure special tubes to this Corente Services Gateway containing this User Group.

  • Port: Enter the port number on the User Group (Trap Listener) to which the Location will send the SNMPv1/v2 traps.

  • SNMP Community: If SNMP communities are in use in your implementation of SNMP, enter the community name for this Corente Services Gateway in this field. An SNMP Community name functions like a password for SNMP, because all queries to this Corente Services Gateway must use this community name.

  • SNMP Version: Choose the SNMP version for this trap. You can choose v1 or v2c.

  • Acknowledge Trap: Select whether or not the User Group (Trap Listener) will acknowledge receipt of a trap by sending a response packet to the Corente Services Gateway. If Acknowledge is selected and the Corente Services Gateway does not receive a response from the User Group (Trap Listener) after a trap is sent, the Corente Services Gateway will wait 30 seconds and send the trap again. The Corente Services Gateway will try three (3) times to send a trap. This option is available only when v2c is selected.

When you have completed these fields, click the OK button. This trap definition will be added to the Community Traps list.
