The default is 4.

DHCP Server Address

Specifies the preferred DHCP server the DHCP clients contact with DHCP queries.

Type the IPv4 address of the DHCP server.

Update Server

Specifies whether the propagation of TCP/IP settings is enabled on the specified interface (if it is acting as a DHCP client) to the DHCP server configured on the router.

To enable the propagation of TCP/IP settings to the DHCP server configured on the router, select Update Server check box.

VPN Encryption

Specifies if VPN encryption is enabled to allow client requests to pass through a VPN tunnel.

To enable VPN encryption, select VPN Encryption check box.

Maximum Hop Count

Specifies the maximum number of hops allowed per packet.

Type a number between 4 and 16.

Description of Server

Specifies the description for the BOOTP server.

Type the description in the Description of the Server text box.

Interfaces

Defines a list of the incoming BOOTP or DHCP request forwarding interfaces, in order of preference—from top to bottom.

Do one of the following:

• To add a DNS server, type an IP address next to the Add button, and click Add.
• To remove a DNS server, select the IP address in the Interfaces list, and click Delete.

Contact Information

Free-form text string that specifies an administrative contact for the system.

Type any contact information for the administrator of the system (such as name and phone number).

Local Engine ID

Provides an administratively unique identifier of an SNMPv3 engine for system identification.

The local engine ID contains a prefix and a suffix. The prefix is formatted according to specifications defined in RFC 3411. The suffix is defined by the local engine ID. Generally, the local engine ID suffix is the MAC address of Ethernet management port 0.

Type the MAC address of Ethernet management port 0.

System Name Override

Free-form text string that overrides the system hostname.

Type the name of the system.

Community Name

Specifies the name of the SNMP community.

Type the name of the community being added.

Categories

Specifies which trap categories are added to the trap group being configured.

• To generate traps for authentication failures, select Authentication.
• To generate traps for chassis and environment notifications, select Chassis.
• To generate traps for configuration changes, select Configuration.
• To generate traps for link-related notifications (up-down transitions), select Link.
• To generate traps for remote operation notifications, select Remote operations.
• To generate traps for remote network monitoring (RMON), select RMON alarm.
• To generate traps for routing protocol notifications, select Routing.
• To generate traps on system warm and cold starts, select Startup.
• To generate traps on Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) events (such as new-master or authentication failures), select VRRP events.

Interval

Determines the sampling frequency, in seconds, over which the key health indicators are sampled and compared with the rising and falling thresholds.

For example, if you configure the interval as 100 seconds, the values are checked every 100 seconds.

Enter an interval time, in seconds, between 1 and 2147483647.

The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Falling Threshold

Value at which you want SNMP to generate an event (trap and system log message) when the value of a sampled indicator is decreasing.

For example, if the falling threshold is 80 (the default), SNMP generates an event when the value of any key indicator falls back to 80 percent or less.

Enter a value between 0 and 100.

The default value is 80.

Note: The falling threshold value must be less than the rising threshold value.
