SNMP Trap notification

Introduction
When the Vutlan monitoring device detects an error or a change, the device will send a notification to one or more trap receivers onto a specified IP address. Traps are only sent using logic schemes or group notifications. For example, if a logic scheme is activated, the trap will be sent to a trap receiver.
All Vutlan monitoring systems support SNMP Trap.
There's no direct limit of SNMP Trap elements in the system.
But there's a limit for overall elements in the system. Please use the table from "Comparison chart: Master modules", "Comparison chart: PDUs", horizontal field "Max. the amount of elements:".
How to create an SNMP Trap
To create a notification via SNMP trap you have to specify the following parameters:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name of the element in the system |
SNMP server | Name or SNMP server IP address (192.168.1.10) |
SNMP port | SNMP port (usually 162). |
Version | Version (v1, v2c or v3) |
Community | Community name (public) |
USM user | User name for protocol v3 |
Security level | Security level for protocol v3, mobile version. "noauth" - no authorization, only user name needed; "auth" - with authorization, need to fill in "Auth algorithm" and "Auth password"; "priv" - with authorization and data encryption, need to fill in "Auth algorithm", "Auth password", "Private algorithm" and "Private password"; |
Auth algorithm | the algorithm of authorization for protocol v3 with security level "priv" and "auth". |
Auth password | the password of authorization for protocol v3 with security level "priv" and "auth". |
Private algorithm | the algorithm of authorization for protocol v3 with security level "priv". |
A private password | the password of authorization for protocol v3 with security level "priv". |
