Configuring Enterprise-Specific Traps

You can also configure enterprise-specific traps so that particular SNMP traps will be generated to provide diagnostic information about events such as failed PPP connections. This diagnostic information appears in console notifications.

To configure enterprise-specific traps, complete the following steps:

1. Load NIASCFG, then select the following parameter path:

   Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Network Interfaces

2. Scroll to a configured PPP interface, then select it.

   The PPP Network Interface Configuration menu is displayed.

3. Select Enterprise Specific Traps .

   The Enterprise Specific Traps Configuration menu is displayed.

4. Do one or more of the following:

   To enable an SNMP trap for failed PPP connections, select PPP Call Attempt Failure Trap, then select Enabled from the pop-up menu.

   The failed PPP connections trap is disabled by default.

   To enable an SNMP trap for PPP connection terminations, select PPP Call Termination Trap, then select Enabled from the pop-up menu.

   The PPP connection terminations trap is disabled by default.

   To enable an SNMP trap for when the physical layer's send and receive utilization exceeds its threshold, select Physical Bandwidth Threshold Trap, then select Enabled from the pop-up menu.

   The physical bandwidth threshold trap is disabled by default.

   To force PPP to generate an SNMP trap if the LCP experiences an up or down transition of the link, select PPP Link Up/Down Trap, then select Enabled from the pop-up menu.

   The PPP link up/down trap is disabled by default.

   If the Physical Bandwidth Threshold Trap is enabled, to modify the bandwidth, enter new percentage values for Bandwidth Lower Threshold and Bandwidth Upper Threshold.

   After bandwidth threshold traps begin to be sent because the upper threshold has been exceeded, traps will continue to be sent until utilization falls below the lower threshold.

   By default, the upper threshold is 80 and the lower threshold is 60. The upper threshold can be any integer less than 100 and greater than the lower threshold.

5. Press Esc to return to the Internetworking Configuration menu; save your changes when prompted.

6. If you want these changes to take effect immediately, select Reinitialize System .

   If you want to configure other parameters, do so now, then reinitialize the system when you are finished.
