Setting a source IP address for a trap to be received

  • (Bare metal)

    In the event log SNMP transfer settings, the source IP address is as follows:

    • If the representative IP address of the storage cluster is not set:

      Control network IP address of the cluster master node (primary)

    • If the representative IP address of the storage cluster is set:

      Representative IP address of the storage cluster or control network IP address of the cluster master node (primary)

    The cluster master node (primary) might be changed to another storage node due to storage node failure or other reasons. To ensure that traps can be received even in such cases, when registering a source IP address, set the representative IP address of the storage cluster and the IP addresses of all storage nodes for the control network.

  • (Cloud)

    SNMP transfers from VSP One SDS Block do not pass through the load balancer, so the source IP address remains the IP address of each storage node for the control network. Therefore, when you register a source IP address, specify the IP address of each cluster master node for the control network, not the IP address assigned to the load balancer.
