SiteScope User's Guide


The Additional SNMP Settings Form

Use the Add Additional SNMP Settings form to define additional SNMP profiles to which SiteScope can send pages in the event of an error or warning condition. You must create a SNMP setting profile for each SNMP host to which you want SiteScope to send pages. Each setting added to the Add Additional SNMP Settings becomes available in the Send SNMP Trap box in the SNMP Trap Alert set up form.

Completing the Add Additional SNMP Settings Form

Complete the Add Additional SNMP Settings Form as indicated below. Selection and configuration of the Host, Object ID, and Trap ID is the same as for the default SNMP setting on the SNMP Preferences form.

Setting Name
Type in the name for these SNMP settings. For example, if you want to use these settings for a secondary console, type secondary settings in the text box. When you add an alert you can select secondary settings from the list of SNMP settings.

Disabled
Click this button to stop SNMP alerts from being sent using these settings.

Send to Host
Enter the host name of the machine to which this trap should be sent. For example, snmp.thiscompany.com. This machine must be running an SNMP console.

SNMP Object ID
Indicate the SNMP object that is sending the trap. For example .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 is the "system" object from MIB-II (RFC 1213).

SNMP Community
Enter the SNMP community name used for this trap - usually this is "public".

Trap ID:Generic
Specify the generic trap type. If the generic trap type is "enterprise specific", then enter the number that represents the specific trap type.

When you have completed the form click the Save Changes button.
