| No. | Name | Description | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enabling the Information Center | You can configure the information center only after the information center is enabled. By default, the information center is enabled. |
Steps 2 to 4 are optional and can be performed in any sequence. |
| 2 | (Optional) Renaming Information Channels | You can rename channels, which facilitates memorization and usage. |
|
| 3 | (Optional) Configuring Trap Filtering | If some traps are unnecessary, configure the switch not to output these traps. |
|
| 4 | (Optional) Setting the Timestamp Format of Traps | To adjust the time format and time precision for information output, configure the timestamp. |
|
| 5 | Configuring the Device to Output Traps to the Trap Buffer | To view traps in the trap buffer, configure the switch to output traps to the trap buffer. |
Steps 5 to 10 can be configured in any sequence. You can configure the device to output traps to one or more destinations according to your needs. |
| 6 | Configuring the Device to Output Traps to a Log File | After traps are output to a log file, you can download the log file anytime to view traps generated by the switch to monitor device running. |
|
| 7 | Configuring the Device to Output Traps to the Console | After traps are output to the console, you can view traps on the console (host from which you can log in to the switch through the console interface) to monitor device running. |
|
| 8 | Configuring the Device to Output Traps to a Terminal | After traps are output to a user terminal, you can view traps on the user terminal (host from which you log in to the switch through STelnet) to monitor device running. |
|
| 9 | Configuring the Device to Output Traps to a Log Host | After configuring the switch to output traps to a log host, you can view traps saved on the log host to monitor device running. |
|
| 10 | Configuring the Device to Output Traps to an SNMP Agent | If an exception or a fault occurs on the switch, the network administrator wants to learn device running. You can configure the switch to output traps to an NMS server so that the network administrator can monitor the switch in real time and locate faults immediately. Before configuring the switch to output traps to an NMS server, configure the switch to output traps to an SNMP agent. Then the SNMP agent sends traps to the NMS server. |
