Chapter 9 Events

Configuration | System | Events | Classes

Severity to Trap

Click the drop-down menu button and select the range of event severity levels to send to an SNMP

network management system (NMS) by default. Event messages sent to SNMP systems are called

“traps.” The choices are: None, 1, 1-2, 1-3. The default is None; if you choose this range, no events are

sent as SNMP traps.

If you select any severity levels to send, you must also configure SNMP destination system parameters

on the Configuration | System | Events | Trap Destinations screens.

The VPN 3002 can send the standard, or “well-known,” SNMP traps listed in Table 9-4. To have an

SNMP NMS receive them, you must configure the events as in the table, and configure a trap destination.

Apply/Cancel

To include your settings for default event handling in the active configuration, click Apply. The Manager

returns to the Configuration | System | Events screen.

Reminder:

To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the

top of the Manager window.

To discard your settings, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration | System | Events

screen.

Configuration | System | Events | Classes

This section of the Manager lets you add, configure, modify, and delete specific event classes for special

handling. You can thus override the general, or default, handling of event classes. For example, you

might want to send email for HARDWAREMON events of severity 1-2, whereas default event handling

does not send any email.

Event classes denote the source of an event and refer to a specific hardware or software subsystem within

the VPN 3002. Table 9-1 describes the event classes.
