Setting up iView² for Traps
1)Follow the installation guide and make sure the SNMP services have been installed. See the SNMP installation guide for details.
2)Open up iView² from the Program menu. Select a chassis that you would like to configure to send traps. Highlight the chassis under the Network Devices list as shown below.
3)Click on the icon iConfig view . It is the one in circled in red with the red arrow pointing to it in the screen shot below.
4)Click on “Open Session”.
5)Login to the SNMP module. The default login is: User Name:”admin” Password: “admin”.
6)If using the default password you may receive the following warning. Just click OK
7)Once logged in click on the “Traps” tab.
8)Click on the “Add” button
9)Enter the IP address of the workstation you want the SNMP card to send the traps to. Then enter the community string. For this example we will use “public”. The Traps button allows you to limit the type of traps. You can also change between SNMP v1 and SNMPv2c. When done click “OK”.
Select Traps. Select whatever is critical to receive an alarm on, eg, LinkDown. You must select each one, as by default, none are checked.
The type of TRAPS available is directly dependent on the type of module. If the module is a Layer 1 module, any of the first five line items would be selected. If the module is Layer 2, such as the iMcV-FiberLinX-II, be sure to select enterpriseSpecific as well as the generic. This is also true for power supplies.
10)You should now see the trap destination information in the dialog box. Click on the apply button.
11)Click on the “SNMP Management View” icon.
12)Click on the “start listening” icon. It has a picture of an ear on it. Notice the Traps log area at the bottom of the screen. You may have to change the size of the window or expand it from the bottom of the screen. It will by default be hidden at the bottom of the window.
13)Testing may be done by restarting the SNMP module or by adding/removing a module from the chassis. Traps should start to appear at the bottom.
14)More information may be obtained by double clicking on some traps. This information is much more helpful if port descriptions have been entered for each card.
To view a complete list of Trap variable bindings, please refer to IMC MIBS.PDF, a separate document.
In addition to configuring Traps, the end user can also configure R/O or R/W restrictions for admin, superuser and user in the Community Strings tab of iConfig. This limits the number of people who can have access to the SNMP configuration.
