Figure 4-19   TR Trap Setup Screen

The TR Trap Setup screen has these fields:

■

IP Address—Enter the network address of the 
remote network management station to which 
traps are to be sent.

■

Community String—Enter a 32-character text 
string for authenticating SNMP communication 
between the Switch 2000 TR and a remote net-
work manager. The network manager and the 
Switch 2000 TR must be configured with the same 
string. 

The default community string is public.

■

Throttle—Prevents a remote network manager 
from receiving too many traps at the same time. 
You can configure the Switch 2000 TR to transmit 
traps within a specific delay time period known as 
a throttle. The unit of throttle is one thousandth of 
a second. The default value is 100, which provides 
a delay of one-tenth of a second between each 
transmission.

The VT100 interface provides a screen for setting the 
parameters of the serial port of the Switch 2000 TR. 
The serial port provides out-of-band communications 
with the Switch 2000 TR for purposes of local config-
uration and communication.

To view the Switch 2000 TR Serial Port Setup screen, 
proceed as follows, from the Switch 2000 TR Main 
Menu banner.

Select Management Setup.

The Management Setup screen appears.

Select SERIAL PORT.

The Serial Port Setup screen appears. See Figure 4-20.
