SteelConnect SNMP Traps
The SteelConnect SNMP traps allow easy management of SteelConnect and straightforward integration into an existing network management system (NMS) for monitoring.
SNMP traps
SteelConnect tracks key hardware and software metrics and alerts you of any potential problems so that you can quickly discover and diagnose issues. The SNMP traps are enabled for a realm by a realm administrator, and you can enable SNMP direct logging for all gateways in an organization. For details, see
Exporting SNMP events and
Export Settings.
SteelConnect supports SNMP traps for conditions that require attention or intervention at the SteelHead Management Console (SCM) level and at the appliance level. Every event sends the related trap.
SteelConnect supports the following standard MIBs at the appliance level:
SteelConnect doesn’t support every object (OID) in every one of these MIBs. See the
IF-MIB traps supported and
SNMPv2-MIB traps supported for the supported OIDs.
The SNMPv2 MIBs and the IF-MIBs support appliance physical interfaces only: for example, eth0 and eth1. SNMP operations are not supported for virtual software or internal interfaces. In the SNMPv2 MIB, there is a scalar entity, for example, sysObjectID, that tracks the OID value of the Riverbed appliance, which is being managed under the SMI enterprise subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1). This entity creates definitions of new OID value for this MIB object.
This table summarizes the SNMP traps sent from SCM to configured trap receivers.
