Configuring trap parameters
An SNMP trap is a notification sent by the console switch to a management station to indicate that an
unusual event has occurred in the switch that might demand further attention. You can specify what SNMP
traps are sent to the management stations by clearing or selecting the appropriate checkboxes in the list
(the SNMP Authentication Failure Trap is not selected by default).
When you select the Traps category for the first time, the Manage Console Switch window retrieves and
displays a list of SNMP traps from the console switch. You can select Enable All or Disable All to easily
select or clear the entire list.
NOTE:
The CPQKVM.MIB file is provided on the HP IP Console Viewer CD to be used with
HP Systems Insight Manager or other SNMP management stations to properly receive SNMP
traps.
