You can enable or disable traps that the switch can send to an SNMP manager. When the condition identified by an active trap is encountered by the switch, a trap message is sent to any enabled SNMP trap receivers, and a message is written to the trap log.
To configure trap flags:
- 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 Flags.
- Enable or disable the following system traps:
- Authentication. When enabled, SNMP traps are sent when events involving authentication occur, such as when a user attempts to access the device management interface and fails to provide a valid user name and password. The default is Enable.
- Link Up/Down. When enabled, SNMP traps are sent when the administrative or operational state of a physical or logical link changes. The default is Enable.
- Spanning Tree. When enabled, SNMP traps are sent when various spanning tree events occur. The default is Enable.
- Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
