SNMP
VBrick supports SNMP v2 and SNMP v3 traps. SNMP traps are a subset of the SNMP management component of the appliance. Use of any element of the SNMP management system requires use of an SNMP browser or SNMP manager application (not supplied).
Traps are SNMP base messages used by SNMP elements to report changes in status or alarm conditions to remote SNMP management entities. Traps are generally used to alert network administrators of potential equipment problems or other noteworthy events. The trap event will be sent every time the monitored event occurs and then not again unless the condition goes away and returns or if SNMP is restarted or reconfigured on the DME.
Currently defined traps are sent with the root VBrick OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.4289 with text indicating which trap it is.
VBrick supports read-only access to the following standard MIBs:
●HOST-RESOURCES-MIB (.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1)
●UCD-SNMP-MIB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021)
●IP-MIB (.1.3.6.1.2.1.4)
●IF-MIB (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2)

Trap Destination
The IP Addresses of SNMP management stations where traps are sent. The SNMP management application should be active on these stations in order to receive a number of SNMP Traps.
