Set up SNMP trap for power failure notification

Prev Next

Select an SNMP trap to notify you about hardware and DAS power failures, to keep the system from shutting down due to a power failure.

  • Verify that you have administrator rights or belong to an access group with alarm management permissions.

  • Prepare the SNMP trap Receiver (required if you don't already have an SNMP trap Receiver).

  1. From the Trellix ESM dashboard, click menu.png and select More Settings.

  2. On the system navigation tree, select the device and click Settings.png.

  3. Click SNMP Configuration, then click the SNMP Traps tab.

  4. In Trap Port, type 162, then select General Hardware Failure, and click Edit Profiles.

  5. Click Add, then enter the requested information like this:

    • Profile Type — Select SNMP Trap.

    • IP Address — Type the address where you want to send the trap.

    • Port — Type 162.

    • Community Name — Type Public.

    Note

    Remember what you type in the Port and Community Name fields.

  6. Click OK, then click Close on the Profile Manager page.

    The profile is added to the Destinations table.

  7. Select the profile in the Use column, then click OK.

When a power supply fails, an SNMP trap is sent and a health status flag appears next to the device on the system navigation tree.
