You can configure settings for each SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 management host that must receive notifications about traps generated by the device. The SNMP management host is also known as the SNMP trap receiver.
To add an SNMP trap receiver:
- Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. - Launch a web browser.
- In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens. - Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays. - Select System > SNMP > SNMP V1/V2 > Trap Configuration.
- In the Recipients IP field, enter the IPv4 address in the x.x.x.x format to receive SNMP traps from this device.
- From the Version menu, select the trap version to be used by the SNMP trap receiver.
- SNMP V1. The switch uses SNMPv1 to send traps to the receiver. The default setting is SNMP V1.
- SNMP V2. The switch uses SNMPv2 to send traps to the receiver.
- In the Community String field, specify the name of the SNMP community that includes the SNMP management host and the SNMP agent on the device.
This name can be up to 16 characters and is case-sensitive. - From the Status menu, select Enable to send traps to the receiver or select Disable to prevent the switch from sending traps to the receiver.
- Click the Add button.
The receiver configuration is added.
