Configuring SNMP Responses

Use the SNMP tab on your Network IPS appliance to configure simple network management protocol (SNMP) notification responses for connection, security, and user defined events that pull certain values and send them to an SNMP manager.

About this task

Navigating in IPS Local Management Interface: Secure Protection Settings > Response Tuning > Responses

Procedure
  1. Click the SNMP tab.
  2. Click the Add icon.
    Tip: You can edit some properties directly. You can also copy and paste an existing response and edit it to create a new response.
  3. Configure the following options:
    Option Description
    Name Specifies a meaningful name for the response.
    Tip: This name appears when you select responses for events, so give the response a name that allows users to easily identify what they are selecting.
    Manager Specifies the server IP address where the SNMP manager is running.
    Note: The SNMP host must be accessible to the appliance to send SNMP traps.
    Community Specifies a valid name (public or private) used to authenticate with the SNMP agent.
