APC AP89XX Manuel D’Utilisation

View trap receivers by NMS IP/Host Name. You can configure up to six trap receivers. 

•  To configure a new trap receiver, click Add Trap Receiver. 

•  To modify or delete a trap receiver, first click its IP address or host name to access its settings. (If 

you delete a trap receiver, all notification settings configured under Event Actions for the deleted 
trap receiver are set to their default values.)

•  To specify the trap type for a trap receiver, select either the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 radio button. 

For an NMS to receive both types of traps, you must configure two trap receivers for that NMS, 
one for each trap type.

Select the identifier of the user profile for this trap receiver. (To view the settings of 

the user profiles identified by the user names selectable here, choose Network on the top menu bar and 
user profiles under SNMPv3 on the left navigation menu.)

See “SNMPv3” on page 89 for information on creating user profiles and selecting authentication and 
encryption methods.

The result of the most recent SNMP trap test. A successful SNMP trap test verifies 

only that a trap was sent; it does not verify that the trap was received by the selected trap receiver. A trap 
test succeeds if all of the following are true:

•  The SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) configured for the selected trap receiver is enabled on 

this device.

•  The trap receiver is enabled.

•  If a host name is selected for the To address, that host name can be mapped to a valid IP address.

Select the IP address or host name to which a test SNMP trap will be sent. If no trap receiver is 

configured, a link to the Trap Receiver configuration page is displayed.

Trap Generation

Enable (the default) or disable trap generation for this trap receiver.

NMS IP/Host Name

The IPv4/IPv6 address or host name of this trap receiver. The default, 0.0.0.0, leaves 
the trap receiver undefined.

Language

Choose a language from the drop-down list. This can differ from the UI and from 
other trap receivers.

Community Name

The name (public by default) used as an identifier when SNMPv1 traps are sent to 
this trap receiver.

Authenticate Traps

When this option is enabled (the default), the NMS identified by the NMS IP/Host 
Name setting will receive authentication traps (traps generated by invalid attempts to 
log on to this device). To disable that ability, unmark the checkbox.
