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. Term Definition Enable SNMP Allows the SNMP applicaton to poll this Silver Peak appliance. (For SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c) Enable SNMP Traps Allows the SNMP agent (in the appliance) to send traps to the receiver(s). (For SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c) Enable V3 User For additional security when the SNMP application polls the appliance, you can use SNMP v3, instead of using v1 or v2c. This provides a way to authenticate without using clear text. Trap Receiver IP address of a host configured to receive SNMP traps.
