Trap Manager configuration

Procedure 5-8: Trap Manager configuration

Overview

Use this procedure to specify which traps you want to enable and to view the trap log. When the condition identified by an active trap is encountered by the switch a trap message is sent to any enabled SNMP Trap Receivers, and a message will be written to the trap log.

The information in the trap log can be saved as a file by using Procedure 5-7.6: Upload File.

See equivalent CLI commands in SNMP commands under Management commands in the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide.

2	Results displayed in the trap log: Number of Traps Since Last Reset - The number of traps generated since the trap log entries were last cleared.

Number of Traps Since Log Last Viewed - The number of traps that have occurred since the traps were last displayed. Displaying the traps by any method (for example, terminal interface display, Web display, uploading file from switch) will cause this counter to be cleared to zero (0). Log - The sequence number of this trap. System Up Time - The time at which this trap occurred, expressed in days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last reboot of the switch. Trap - Information identifying the trap
3	If required, click `Clear Log` to clear all entries in the log. Subsequent displays of the log will only show new log entries. End of steps
