Trap subscribers represent the Simple
Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) clients that are used to communicate
with the SNMP agent embedded on the appliance.
Before you begin
SNMP trap subscribers must be existing SNMP clients. Configure
your SNMP client to receive traps before you create the trap subscriber
in the IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance user interface.
About this task
An SNMP trap subscriber is required to direct notifications
about the appliance to a subscribed SNMP client. When you create a
trap subscriber, you must provide information about the SNMP clients
that receive SNMP traps. Traps describe situations that need attention
from the
IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance administrator.
The SNMP agent does not send SNMP traps to any client that is not
defined as a subscriber.
All SNMP trap subscribers automatically
receive traps related to data grid storage limits and appliance storage
limits. For more information about the specific traps you can set,
see SNMP trap reference.
Procedure
- Navigate to the SNMP settings panel. In the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance user interface, click .
- Expand Trap Subscribers.
- Click Create trap subscriber.
- Complete the form to describe the SNMP trap subscribers
that you would like to create.
- Host
- Specifies the IP address where the SNMP client listens for trap
information.
- Client port number
- Specifies the port on which the SNMP client is listening for trap
information.
- Community
- Specifies an SNMP community of which the client is a member.
- Click the remove icon (
)
to remove an SNMP trap subscriber. Existing subscribers
cannot be modified. If a subscriber must be modified, then it must
be removed and then recreated.
What to do next
After you specify at least one SNMP trap subscriber that
can access the appliance, you can configure what traps you would like
the SNMP agent to communicate.
