Prerequisites:
To configure SNMP traps, you will require a server that will act as an SNMP server. The SNMP server can be any Windows or Linux system installed with a MIB browser such as iReasoning. To view requirements and download a copy of iReasoning MIB browser, follow the link: https://ireasoning.com/mibbrowser.html.
Make sure your fail-open switch IP address can be reached within the network.
Make sure your SNMP server and fail-open switch are able to communicate.
In addition, you will need to obtain MIB files to decode alert codes sent by the fail-open switch. These files are specific to the fail-open switch and can be obtained by clicking on this link: KB86247.
You will require the RJ-45 cable.
Connect an RJ-45 cable to the Management Port at the back of the fail-open switch.
Connect the other end to a network device so that the SNMP server is reachable through the network.
Copy the fail-open switch MIB files to a suitable location on the SNMP server.
When any of the following events occur, an SNMP trap is generated:
Utilization exceeds the threshold on any port (Only for model 1)
Bypass state changes
Any port link status changes
Either power supply state changes
Set up the fail-open switch IP address, network mask, and SNMP manager IP address using the commands provided in the section Configure the fail-open switch parameters.
Make sure the SNMP manager and fail-open switch are able to communicate.
Configuration of SNMP traps is complete when you can see a trap appear in the MIB browser.
