Trap Receivers

The Trap Receivers tab lists the machines that will receive SNMP traps from the Passport chassis.


Note Note: If the Trap Receivers window takes a long time to open, it may be that the IP address of a trap receiver cannot be resolved to a DNS name. By default, Device Manager attempts to resolve IP addresses to DNS names. If no Domain Name Server (DNS) is available, set Device > Properties > Display Hostnames as to IP addresses to avoid long delays caused by the failed DNS resolution attempts.

When Device Manager opens a device, it automatically adds the machine on which it is running to the Trap Receivers list.


Items Description
IpAddress
IP address for the trap receiver. (This value may be displayed as a DNS host name, but it was entered originally as an IP address.)
Community
Community string used for trap messages to this trap receiver.
Version
By default, traps are sent in SNMP V2c format. If you are using an older NMS that supports only V1 traps (for example, HP OpenView) you should select that field. Note that UNIX management stations must run Device Manager as Root to receive traps.
