10.2 Configuring SNMP Trap Destinations
The SNMP Trap Destinations page allows you to configure up to five SNMP trap
managers. You can associate a trap destination with SNMPv2 users and specific SNMPv3
users. Associating a trap destination with SNMPv3 users sends encrypted and
authenticated traps to the SNMPv3 destination. By default, traps are sent unencrypted
using SNMPv2.
 To configure SNMP trap destinations:
1. Open the SNMP Trap Destinations page (Configuration tab > System menu >
Management > SNMP > SNMP Trap Destinations).
Figure 10-2: SNMP Trap Destinations Page
2. Configure the SNMP trap manager parameters according to the table below.
3. Select the check box corresponding to the SNMP Manager that you wish to enable.
4. Click Submit.
