2.5.5

Trap Control Command

The IP address parameter was added to the trap control command. This section 

describes how to configure destination IP addresses for traps. Trap control gives 

you the ability to allow all traps or to disallow all traps. SNMP MIB variables are 

available to disable a particular trap, or all traps of a particular severity. The 

default for trap control is “disabled”.

Trap control allows the switch to be configured or to enable or disable sending 

trap messages to the Network Management System (NMS). Previously, the 

switch would use the last NMS IP address that it learned. To avoid this, configure 

an IP address for the intended NMS. If the trap command is not used, the switch 

will continue to learn the IP address of the last NMS it heard from and will send 

traps only to that address.

The IP address used in Trap Control must reside in the same subnet as previously 

defined. For example, the IP address is 134.143.110.53 and the Trap control 

address is 134.143.110. 

The IP address can be modified when traps are either being turned off or on. 

Applying a zero IP address (0.0.0.0) effectively removes the address. The format 

is:

       Trapcontrol [on | off] [IPADDR]
