Trap Receiver Configuration

To configure trap receivers:

1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.

   ACMEPACKET# configure terminal

2. Type system and press Enter to access the system-level configuration elements.

   ACMEPACKET(configure)# system

3. Type trap-receiver and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.

   ACMEPACKET(system)# trap-receiver
   ACMEPACKET(trap-receiver)#

   From this point, you can set trap receivers.

   The following is an example of a trap receiver configuration. Parameters not described in this section are omitted below.

   trap-receiver
           ip-address                     10.0.1.42:162
           filter-level                   All
           community-name                 public
   	user-list	jsmith,carolM,gcather

4. ip-address—Set the IPv4 address of an authorized NMS. This parameter is the IPv4 address of an NMS where traps are sent. If you do not specify a port number, the default SNMP trap port of 162 will be used.
5. filter-level—Set the filter level threshold that indicates the severity level at which a trap to be sent to this particular trap receiver. The default for this parameter is critical.

   Example: A trap with a severity level of Critical is generated, the SNMP agent will only send this trap to NMSs that are configured in a trap-receiver element and have a filter-level parameter of Critical.

   The following table maps Syslog and SNMP alarms to trap receiver filter levels.

   Filter Level	Syslog Severity Level	(SNMP) Alarm Severity Level
   Critical	Emergency (1) Critical (2)	Emergency Critical
   Major	Emergency (1) Critical (2) Major (3)	Emergency Critical Major
   Minor	Emergency (1) Critical (2) Major (3) Minor (4)	Emergency Critical Major Minor
   All	Emergency (1) Critical (2) Major (3) Minor (4) Warning (5) Notice (6) Info (7) Trace (8) Debug (9)	Emergency Critical Major Minor Warning

   When configuring the trap-receiver element for use with the Element Management System (EMS), Oracle recommends that you set the filter-level parameter to All for that configuration element that includes EMS servers.

6. community-name—Set the community name to which this trap receiver belongs. This community must be defined in the SNMP community element.
7. user-list—For SNMPv3, specify a list of users that have authorized permissions to receive secure traps. Enter the user names as comma-separated values. For example:

   ACMEPACKET(trap-receiver)# user-list jsmith,carolm,glather

   Note:

   If instances of snmp-user-entry are configured, but no users are listed under user-list, a warning message is sent during a verify-config execution.
