Configuring Traps
A trap is an SNMP message from an RMON data source that alerts a
management station of significant events occurring on the network.
With traps, the management station doesn’t need to continuously poll
the data source for information about network conditions. Instead, the
burden is on the data source to monitor the network and notify the man-
agement station when a notable event occurs.
Typically, traps are saved as entries in event logs on the management
station. However, once a management station is alerted to an event, it
can respond with an action, for example, sending an electronic mail
message or notifying a pager.
The following pages discuss how to configure HP probes to send traps to
the groups of management stations you define. For a list of what HP
Probes support trap destination groups, refer to table 1 on page 18.
For information on configuring your management station to receive
traps, refer to your network management system’s documentation.
Important
In order to take advantage of traps, you must be running an event
system on the management station that handles them. Network
management systems, such as HP OpenView Network Node Manager
(NNM), provide this capability.
