Configuring SNMP trap destinations

Last Updated : Dec 21, 2012 |

Use the following procedure to report system faults as SNMP traps. You can set filters to determine the types of events that generate SNMP traps. For example, you can generate SNMP traps for faults related to the SSL VPN service, or you can generate SNMP traps for faults related to theIP Office system.

Before you begin

When you define a destination IP address for a fault event, the system uses an IP routing table to determine which interface to use when sending the fault event. The destination must be an IPv4 address for the SNMP trap to be correctly routed to the fault management server.

You must configure a trap listener on the destination computer where the SNMP traps are reported.
