You can set up an SNMP trap for VSP One File server to send an alert to an external system running an SNMP program when an event occurs.

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Event Notification Setup > SNMP Traps Setup.
  2. In the SNMP Traps Setup page, click the edit icon.
  3. Set the notification frequency for Severe Alerts, Warning Alerts, and Information Alerts to Immediately.
    • A Severe Alert indicates that a VSP One File server component has failed, which is a threat to the functioning of the server.
    • A Warning Alert indicates that a VSP One File server component requires attention, but it is not an immediate threat to the functioning of the server.
    • An Information Alert indicates that a VSP One File server component is operating normally.
  4. Enter the port number that the server uses to send traps. The default port is 162.
  5. To send a trap during an authentication failure, set the Send traps upon authentication failure toggle switch to Yes.
    An example of an authentication failure event is an SNMP host using an incorrect community string when sending a request.
  6. Click Save.
After setting up the SNMP traps, add trap recipients. For more information, see Adding SNMP trap recipients.
