SNMP Trap notification



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. amount of elements:".

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.

To create a notification via SNMP trap you have to specify the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

"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

Answer

Do I need to config the SNMP trap for each sensor?

You can configure an individual SNMP trap for separate sensors.

But it is best to `Group` of sensors. See the links below:
