Configure SNMP destinations for alerts

The system uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to transfer system alerts as traps to an SNMP destination host. Traps are asynchronous messages that notify the SNMP destination when system and user events occur. The three types of traps are:

  • Information – Provide routine status information about system operation.
  • Warnings – Indicate that a problem has occurred or may occur.
  • Errors – Report system problems that occurred or are occurring.

You can configure the types of alert information the system reports (informational, error, or emergency indications).

Each SNMP destination is identified by an ID.

The following table lists the attributes for SNMP destinations:

Table 1. SNMP destination attributes
Attribute Description
ID ID of the SNMP destination.
Host Hostname or IP address of the SNMP destination.
Port Host port on the SNMP destination that will receive the traps.
User name Username that is used to access the SNMP destination.
Auth protocol Protocol that is used to authenticate access to the SNMP destination. Value is one of the following:
  • none — No authentication
  • md5 — Message-Digest algorithm 5
  • sha — Secure Hash Algorithm
Auth password Authentication password for accessing the SNMP destination.
Privacy protocol Protocol that is used to enable privacy on the SNMP destination. The privacy protocol encrypts the SNMP packets. Value is one of the following:
  • none — No encryption
  • aes — Advanced Encryption Standard
  • des — Data Encryption Standard
Privacy password Privacy password for the privacy protocol.
