Configuring Trap Messages
There are two parts to configuring trap messages:
• Configuring the router’s SNMP agent to send trap messages to the SNMP
manager, which is your Site Manager workstation
• Using the Trap Monitor to view and manage trap messages
To set up the router’s trap capability, go to the next section.
Configuring the Router’s SNMP Agent
Every Nortel Networks router incorporates an SNMP management agent. The
agent is a software entity included with the software image on the flash card or
diskette. The SNMP agent responds to commands and requests from an SNMP
manager, that is, your Site Manager workstation. The agent then interprets the
commands and performs the required task.
Before using the Trap Monitor, you must configure the SNMP agent on the router.
After you set up the agent, you specify the types of trap messages you want to
collect, then use the Trap Monitor to view and manage the messages.
You must configure the SNMP agent on the router to:
• Identify your Site Manager workstation as an SNMP manager.
• Send specified trap messages to your Site Manager workstation.
To configure the SNMP agent, use the Configuration Manager.
For more information about SNMP, see Configuring SNMP, BootP, and DHCP
Services.
