Network Management System Integration

A Network Management System listed as a trap receiver in the DCE Network Management System Integration display can fail to receive a test trap if there are problems with the settings used, or with the network. Note  If the problem persists, contact APC Support (http://www.apc.com/support). Problem Recommended Actions Settings Make sure the "SNMPv1 Trap Settings" display or "SNMPv3 Inform Settings" display settings associated with the target Network Management console are properly defined. Make sure the SNMP settings have not changed at the target Network Management System console, and that the appropriate SNMP service is enabled at that console. Network Make sure the device was not turned off or disconnected from the network when the test trap was sent. Correct any network connection problem.

    Network Management System Integration option Specify trap receivers (Network Management System consoles) to which the server will send SNMPv1 traps and SNMPv3 informs. This option accesses settings used to enable the Data Center Expert server to send SNMPv1 traps and SNMPv3 informs to defined Network Management System consoles for alarms that occur at monitored SNMP devices and NetBotz Appliances, and the devices associated with those appliances. Note For information about the SNMPv1 traps and SNMPv3 informs that the Data Center Expert server can send, see the latest version of the APC PowerNet MIB available for download at https://www.apc.com/us/en/tools/download/
