An event log can be configured to send events to SNMP trap receivers by specifying an SNMP trap group destination.
An SNMP trap group can have multiple trap targets. Each trap target can have different operational parameters.
A trap destination has the following properties:
the IP address of the trap receiver (IPv4 or IPv6)
the UDP port used to send the SNMP trap
SNMP version (v1, v2c, or v3) used to format the SNMP notification
SNMP community name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c receivers
security name and level for SNMPv3 trap receivers
For SNMP traps that will be sent out-of-band through the Management Ethernet port on the CSM, the source IP address of the trap is the IP interface address defined on the Management Ethernet port. For SNMP traps that will be sent in-band, the source IP address of the trap is the system IP address of the 7705 SAR.
Each trap target destination of a trap group receives the identical sequence of events as defined by the log ID and the associated sources and log filter applied.
