Monitoring System Health and Status Using SNMP
Note that failure condition alarm traps represent a critical failure of the individual component, but may
not cause a total system failure. For example, a single fan or power supply can fail on an appliance with
multiple fans or power supplies and the appliance will continue to operate.

SNMP Traps
SNMP provides the ability to send traps, or notifications, to advise an administration application (an
SNMP management console, typically) when one or more conditions have been met. Traps are network
packets that contain data relating to a component of the system sending the trap. Traps are generated
when a condition has been met on the SNMP agent (in this case, the email security appliance). After the
condition has been met, the SNMP agent then forms an SNMP packet and sends it to the host running
the SNMP management console software.

To enable and configure SNMP traps, use the
