Configuring SNMP
BIG-IP® Reference Guide 8-5
3. In the Community String box, type a community name. The
community name is a clear text password used for basic SNMP
security and for grouping machines that you manage.
Configuring traps
To configure traps, you provide three pieces of information:
◆ trapcommunity <community string>
This sets the community string (password) to use for sending traps. If set,
it also sends a trap upon startup: coldStart(0).
◆ trapport <port>
This sets the port on which traps are sent. There must be one trapport
line for each trapsink host.
◆ authtrapenable <integer>
Setting this variable to 1 enables traps to be sent for authentication
warnings. Setting it to 2 disables it.
To set trap configuration properties using the
Configuration utility
You use the Trap Configuration section of the SNMP Administration screen
to set trap properties.
1. Check the Auth Trap Enabled box to allow traps to be sent for
authentication warnings.
2. In the Community box, type the community name to which this
BIG-IP belongs. Traps sent from this box are sent to the
management system managing this community.
3. In the Service box, type the service name on which the BIG-IP
sends traps. Traps sent from the BIG-IP are sent to the management
system on through this port.
4. In the Sink box, type the host that should be notified when a trap is
sent by the BIG-IP SNMP agent.
5. Click the Add (>>) button to add it to the Current List. To remove
a trap sink from the Current List, click the trap sink you want to
remove, and click the Remove (<<) button.
6. Click the Apply button.
