Managing SNMP Trap Groups (Required)

SNMP traps are unsolicited notifications that are generated by conditions on the Services Router. When events trigger a trap, a notification is sent to the configured clients for that particular trap group. To manage a trap group, you must create the group, specify the types of traps that are included in the group, and define one or more targets to receive the trap notifications.

To configure SNMP trap groups:

  1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. To configure SNMP trap groups, perform the configuration tasks described in Table 32.
  3. If you are finished configuring the network, commit the configuration.
  4. To check the configuration, see Verifying the SNMP Configuration.
