Setting up SNMP notifications on the Velocity physical appliance
Velocity Help
You can configure the appliance to generate and send Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps to your SNMP server for hardware monitoring purposes.
The appliance uses the SNMPv2-SMI application protocol.
To configure SNMP notifications
Log on to the Velocity shell menu.
From the Main_Menu > Settings > Alerts view, enter the following command to set the SNMP server:
SNMP Set <server>
[[community]]
[[port]]
Where <server> is the IP address or FQDN of your SNMP mail server.
The appliance uses the default community public and the default destination port 162 for SNMP traps. If your SNMP server uses a different community or port, use the
[[community]]
and
[[port]]
variables.
Your firewall must allow access from the appliance to the SNMP server through whichever port you use.
Enter the following command to show the appliance MIB:
SNMP ShowMIB
Copy the Management Information Base (MIB) text and import it into your SNMP management software so that it can interpret the appliance traps.
Enter the following command to enable the SNMP configuration:
SNMP Enable
