ECS 3.5.0.1 Administration Guide

Add an SNMPv2 trap recipient

You can configure Network Management Station clients as SNMPv2 trap recipients for the SNMP traps that are generated by the ECS fabric using SNMPv2 standard messaging.

1. In the ECS Portal, select Settings > Event Notification.
   On the Event Notification page, the SNMP tab displays by default and lists the SNMP servers that have been added to ECS.
2. To add an SNMP server target, click New Target.
   The New SNMP Target page is displayed.
3. On the New SNMP Target page, complete the following steps:
   1. In the FQDN/IP field, type the Fully Qualified Domain Name or IP address for the SNMP v2c trap recipient node that runs the snmptrapd server.
   2. In the Port field, type the port number of the SNMP v2c snmptrapd running on the Network Management Station clients.
      The default port number is 162.
   3. In the Version field, select SNMPv2.
   4. In the Community Name field, type the SNMP community name.
      Both the SNMP server and any Network Management Station clients that access it must use the same community name to ensure authentic SNMP message traffic, as defined by the standards in RFC 1157 and RFC 3584.
      The default community name is public.
4. Click Save.
