Add Trap Recipients
A recipient is a location on a manager where the SNMP agent sends traps. This location 
is defined by the combination of either the IP address or DNS name and the port 
number. 
Use this procedure to add a trap recipient.
1. Select Tools > System Detail.
2. Select the Library folder from the device tree. 
3. Select SNMP > Add Trap Recipient and enter the following details:
4. Click Apply. 
The indexed trap recipients list is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This list 
supports up to 20 recipients with no duplicate entries. Users must add themselves to 
the recipients list to receive traps.
Host
Server name where the SNMP software application resides. 
TrapLevel See 
 for details. 
Version
Version of the SNMP standard. The SL500 library supports: 
■
SNMPv2c of the simple network management protocol for 
machine status queries. With this version, any information 
transmitted is not secure.
■
SNMPv3 of the simple network management protocol is 
reserved for proprietary information. Because this version 
supports encryption and stronger user identification it is 
the preferred protocol for proprietary data.
Community (v2c 
only)
Agent community string. When set to public, requests coming 
from any community string will be accepted.
TrapName (v3 only)
Name of the trap recipient.
Auth (v3 only)
Authentication protocol type (MD5 or SHA) string for users 
and hosts receiving traps. One of the two primary SNMPv3 
security protocols designed to reliably identify the integrity 
of the originating party.
AuthPass (v3 only)
Authentication password of the user.
Priv (v3 only)
Privacy protocol type (DES or AES): The other two primary 
SNMPv3 security protocols are designed to protect 
information within the message from disclosure.
PrivPass (v3 only)
Encryption Password that is the private key for encryption.
EngineID (v3 only)
Engine Id is an administratively unique identifier of an 
SNMP v3 engine used for identification, not for addressing 
(Source: The Internet Society, RFC 3411). SNMP v3 
authentication and encryption keys are generated based upon 
the associated passwords and the engine ID. The engine ID is 
a string of at most 31 hexadecimal characters, preceded with 
0x.
