SNMP Trap Setup

SNMP Trap can be sent to the SNMP Manager (monitoring server) when an event occurs in the ETERNUS DX. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard protocol used for network management.

When SNMP Manager exists in a different subnetwork from the storage system, specify the IP address or the network address of SNMP Manager in "Allowable IP Address" of the [Setup Network Environment] function.

To set up the network environment, refer to "Operating Procedures" in "Setup Network Environment" of "Web GUI User's Guide".

By using the [Initial Setup] function, the SNMP Agent environment can be configured with the wizard. When the [Initial Setup] function is not used, configure the SNMP Agent environment in the following order before sending an SNMP trap:

1. Setup SNMP Agent Basic Interface

   This function sets up the SNMP Agent basic interface in the storage system.
