To configure a station for Snmp trap generation

To configure a station for Snmp trap generation, you must first have an Snmp network established and running in your station.

Open the nSnmp Palette in the Palette side bar.
Under the Trap Generation folder, drag and drop an SnmpRecipient component onto the AlarmService property sheet or onto the AlarmService component in the Nav side bar.
Select the Property Sheet view of the SnmpRecipient and set the Time Range, Days of Week, and Transitions properties as desired. Refer to SnmpRecipient properties.
On the SnmpRecipient property sheet, set the Route Acks property to true.
Set the following Network Manager Config properties if you choose to use an SnmpNetwork Manager other than the SnmpNetwork’s Default Network Manager.
- Route Alarms To Network Manager As Traps
  If this option is not selected, traps are not routed.
- Use SnmpNetwork’s Default Network Manager
  If this option is selected, traps report using the network manager that is defined in the Default Network Manager properties. If this property option is not selected, then the alarms are reported as traps using the network manager that is defined in the Network Manager Config properties.
- Network Manager IP Address
  Type in the address of the SnmpNetwork manager that you want to use.
- Use SnmpNetwork’s Default Network Manager
  If this option is selected, traps report using the network manager that is defined in the Default Network Manager properties. If this property option is not selected, then the alarms are reported as traps using the network manager that is defined in the Network Manager Config properties.
- Network Manager Traps Community
  This property provides a field for you to specify a string value to use for outgoing Snmp version 1 trap messages (sent to the network manager). The default value is “public”.
NOTE: These properties are read-only unless you clear (do not select) the SnmpNetwork’s Default Network Manager option field under the Route Acks property.
On the SnmpRecipient property sheet, choose one of the following options for the Snmp Alarm Table property.
- Store Received Alarms
  This option specifies that alarms that are routed to this recipient are also cached in the Snmp Alarm Table. This is the default option.
- Do Not Store Received Alarms
  This option disables the caching of alarms for the recipient.
On the SnmpRecipient property sheet, click the Save button. Snmp trap generation is configured and enabled.
