Working with systems in the SNMP Trap Manager

You can use the following features in the SNMP Trap Manager:

You cannot use these actions when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.


Adding a system Adding a system

Use this action to add a new system to the SNMP traps list. Every new system you add to the list is notified of all events that occur on this system.

  1. Click Add system.

  2. Type the host name or TCP/IP address of the system you want to add.

  3. Type the TCP/IP port for the remote system Startup port number. The default port is 162.

  4. Type the Community for the system.

  5. Click Add.

  6. Continue to add systems, or click Cancel to close the window.

Delete systemDeleting a system

Use this action to delete a remote system from the SNMP traps list.

  1. Click the system you want to delete from the SNMP traps list.

  2. Click Delete system.

  3. Click Yes to confirm. The ServeRAID Manager deletes the system from the SNMP traps list.

After deleting the remote system, the Manager no longer notifies the remote system of traps occurring on the local system.


Modify systemModifying a system

Use this action to modify a remote system host name, TCP/IP address, or port number.

  1. Click the system you want to modify from the SNMP traps list.

  2. Click Modify system. The Host properties window opens.

  3. Change the host properties in the appropriate entry fields.

  4. Click OK.

Sending a test trap

Use this action to send a test trap to a remote system.

  1. Click the system you want from the SNMP traps list to which you want to send a test trap.
    Note: If you click no system or more than one system, this action is disabled.

  2. Click Actions --> Send test trap.

    Note: The SNMP Trap Manager cannot verify that the trap was sent successfully. You must verify that the trap was sent on the remote system. If the test fails, verify the following and try the test send again:
    1. You typed the correct TCP/IP information.
    2. The SNMP console is running on the remote system.

  3. Click OK.
