Events occurring on the G700 cause SNMP traps to be generated. The G700 MGP can be 
configured to send SNMP traps to any network management system (NMS) in the network, 
including the primary server (S8300/S8700). The MGP CLI set snmp trap command is the 

way to configure the NMS network element that will receive those traps. The traps are sent in 
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on the customer’s IP network. 
The command syntax is:

set SNMP trap <IP address> {enable|disable}

where <IP address> is the IP address of the NMS trap receiver that will be receiving the 

traps from the G700, and

[{all|power|temp|app|module|config|voice|operations}] indicates the groups 

whose traps will be sent to the specified receiver. If no keywords follow the IP address entry, 
then all traps will be enabled for the specified receiver.

If "enable" or "disable" is used without a trap designation keyword, then all traps is 
assumed. Up to ten trap receivers can be configured.

To configure the destination for G700 SNMP traps

1. From the L2 Processor CLI, type session mgp 
2. At the mg-xxx-n(super-user) prompt, type configure and press Enter.
3. At the mg-xxx-n(configure) prompt, type set snmp trap <IP address> enable and 

press Enter.

4. Type exit
