Setting Up the SNMP Trap Provider

To configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Traps provider, do the following:

  1. Select the Active check box.
  2. Type the IP name and address that identifies the host to the network. You can provide information for up to five IP addresses.
  3. Specify the port number of the external management systems.
  4. The default is 162.

  5. Specify the minimum alert level: Warnings, Error, or Down.
  6. Select Error to send on errors or worse events. Only actionable events are sent.

The SUNWesraa package, located at /opt/SUNWstade/System/SunMC/SUNWesraa.tar.gz, must be installed on your SunMC agent station with the rasagent module loaded for this provider to work.

You can also use the SUNWesras package, located at /opt/SUNWstade/System/SunMC/SUNWesras.tar.gz, to perform group operations within the SunMC.
