SNMP Tab

Administration > [General] SNMP

This tab summarizes what SNMP capabilities are enabled and which hosts can receive SNMP traps.

n	The Silver Peak appliance supports the Management Information Base (MIB) II, as described in RFC 1213, for cold start traps and warm start traps, as well as Silver Peak proprietary MIBs.

n	The appliance issues an SNMP trap during reset--that is, when loading a new image, recovering from a crash, or rebooting.

n	The appliance sends a trap every time an alarm is raised or cleared. Traps contain additional information about the alarm, including severity, sequence number, a text-based description of the alarm, and the time the alarm was created.
