10.3.3 Event Notification Destination – Multiple SNMP and SMTP Destinations

This menu item enables the Supervisor to add up to eight (8) separate destinations for SNMP and SMTP dial-out of e-mail notifications. A wizard is provided to assist the Supervisor with the addition of new destinations. See the following example.

NOTE: Login credential information must be provided by your network administrator.

For SNMP Configuration:

-Select Broadcast if CXC is located in the same segment as NMS. IP Address is not required. Broadcast cannot be used as master.

-Select IP Address if value is known for NMS. This is the recommended setup selection for SNMP destination configuration. -Select Host Name if CXC has a fully qualified domain name that can be resolved by a DNS server. IP address must be

obtained automatically from DHCP server.

For Email Configuration,

-Enter SMTP IP Address unless Host Name is preferred (Dedicated Connection only). Send Domain is optional for SMTP “hello” packet and may be left blank.

-Enter From Address and To Address. Copy Address is optional.

Alternate Configuration

(Default value)

Select Next to proceed with wizard for new destination.

10.3.3.1Master SNMP Destination

This menu item enables the Supervisor to set a NMS destination as master.

Select from the pull-down menu.

Select None if SNMP connection is by dial-out or no trap recovery (after network block out) is required. This is the default to be backward compatible with legacy CXC trap notification method.

Note that “Master SNMP Destination” should NOT be set if using “Inform” (see the next section for details on Inform).

10.3.3.2Inform Settings (Trap Acknowledge)

INFORM is similar to a Trap message; except that it requires a response from the Network Management Software (NMS) to the SNMP Agent. The SNMP Agent will continue to send the Inform message if no acknowledgement is received. The “INFORM Settings” on the Event Notification Destination page allow the user to set the behavior of Inform retries. See Figure below:

Any destination set with

INFORM should never be used as Master SNMP Destination.
