Configuring SNMP notification

The SNMP recipient is usually an SNMP systems management console, most likely at a remote location.

 To configure the SNMP recipient

1. On the main tab bar, click Notification.
2. On the details tab bar, click the Settings tab.
3. In the Configuration task menu, click Edit SNMP Settings.
4. In the Edit SNMP Settings wizard, specify the following information:
   • SNMP Community - Specify the community property for SNMP traps. The default community is public.
   • SNMP trap port - Specify the UDP port of the SNMP manager that you intend to receive the SNMP traps. The default port is 162.
   • Default SNMP Console - Specify a system name or IP address of a system that hosts an SNMP management console. You can select one or more other consoles when creating a policy.

     If no consoles are specified in a policy, the default SNMP console is not used.

5. Click OK.
6. In the final panel, read the message about the results of the task and then click Close.
