User Traps

SNMPv3 uses User Traps to monitor servers. This Corente Services Gateway can be configured to send user traps to the SNMP Manager. This section lists all of the user traps that have been configured for this Corente Services Gateway. You can edit or delete any existing traps.

Note that unlike SNMP v1 and v2, SNMP v3 is a user-based system. If you would like to poll Corente Services Gateways for information, all that is required to poll any Corente Services Gateway on your application network is a username and password that has been administered on the SNMP Users interface that has appropriate SNMP Views administered. However, if you would like to receive traps with SNMP v3, you must complete the fields and options on this screen.

To add a new user 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 Corente Services Gateway to receive SNMPv3 traps. This User Group must contain only one host. You may have to configure special tubes to this Location containing this User Group.

  • Port: Enter the port number on the User Group (Trap Listener) to which the Corente Services Gateway will send the SNMPv3 traps.

  • Engine ID: Enter the engine ID of the Trap Listener to help further encrypt the trap. An engine ID is a unique identifier that confirms the identity of both entities when a SNMPv3 trap is sent and received.

  • SNMP User: Select the user account that will receive these traps.

  • Security Model: Select the security model that will be used to deliver the traps. Auth No Priv will require authentication of the user, but will not encrypt the traps sent to the SNMP Manager. Auth with Priv will both authenticate the user and encrypt the traps.

  • 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 yes is selected and the Corente Services Gateway does not receive a response from the User Group (Trap Listener) after a trap is sent, the Location gateway will wait 30 seconds and send the trap again. The Corente Services Gateway will try three (3) times to send a trap.

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