Creating a trap

You can create a trap that SNMP agents must send to the SNMP manager.

To create a trap:

1. In the menu, go to the Infrastructure section.

   The SD-WAN infrastructure management page is displayed. By default, the Network resources tab is selected, which displays the table of SD-WAN Controllers.

2. Click Management next to the SD-WAN Controller and in the drop-down list, select Configuration menu.

   This opens the SD-WAN Controller configuration menu. By default, you are taken to the Controller nodes section, which displays a table of Controller nodes.

3. Go to the SNMP section.

   A table of traps is displayed.

4. Under Trap parameters, click Edit.
5. This opens a window; in that window, click Add to create a trap.
6. In the Manager port field, enter the IP address or hostname of the SNMP manager. In Kaspersky SD-WAN, the Zabbix proxy server acts as the SNMP manager.
7. In the Manager port field, enter the port number of the SNMP manager. The default setting is 162.
8. In the Community field, enter the SNMP community string. The community string is used as a password which the SNMP manager uses to connect to SNMP agents. The default value is public, which provides read-only access. We recommend changing the default to a more secure and unique community string to ensure reliable communication between your SNMP manager and SNMP agents.

   You must specify the same community string when configuring the SNMP manager connection to SNMP agents and when creating traps.

9. In the Allowed traps field, click Edit and select the following check boxes to select which traps SNMP agents can send to the SNMP manager:
   • Select the ifUpNotification check box to have the SNMP agent send a trap to the SNMP manager when one of the network interfaces of the equipment on which the agent is installed becomes active.
   • Select the ifDownNotification check box to have the SNMP agent send a trap to the SNMP manager when one of the network interfaces of the equipment on which the agent is installed becomes inactive.
   • Select the swUpNotification check box to have the SNMP agent send a trap to the SNMP manager when one the equipment on which the agent is installed becomes active.
   • Select the swDownNotification check box to have the SNMP agent send a trap to the SNMP manager when the equipment on which the agent is installed becomes inactive.

   By default, all check boxes are selected.

10. Click Back to continue specifying settings.
11. In the Description field, enter a brief description of the trap.
12. Click Save.

The trap is created and displayed in the table.
