Events

This page enables you to define what action you want to take for events that may occur in the SLC.

To define events:

  1. Complete the following:

Event Trigger

From the drop-down list, select the type of incident that triggers an event. Currently, the only option is Receive Trap.

Action

From the drop-down list, select the action taken because of the trigger. For example, the action can be writing an entry into the syslog with details of the event or sending the trap(s) to the Ethernet or modem connection.

Ethernet

For actions that require an Ethernet connection (for example, Forward All Traps to Ethernet), select the Ethernet port to use.

Modem Connection on

For actions that require a modem connection (for example, Forward All Traps to a Modem Connection, select which device port or PC Card slot with a modem connection to use.

NMS/Host to forward trap to

For actions that forward a trap, enter the IP address of the computer to forward the trap to. The computer does not have to be an SNMP NMS; it just has to be capable of receiving SNMP traps.

SNMP Community

Forwarded traps are sent with this SNMP community value. There is no default.

SNMP Trap OID

Enter a unique identifier for an SNMP object. (An SNMP object is anything that can hold a value and can be read using an SNMP "get" action.) The OID consists of a string of numbers separated by periods (for example, 1.1.3.2.1). Each number is part of a group represented by the number on its left.
