Registering Management Applications

This topic contains instructions on how to manually register the IP addresses or host names and port numbers of external management applications to enable them to receive Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps from the library. For more information about SNMP trap registration, see About SNMP Trap Registration.

NOTE: This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrative users logged in from different locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrative user is performing the same operation.

  5. NOTE: You may use a host name for the management application instead of an IP address only if the library is set up to use Domain Name System (DNS) servers. See Modifying Network Settings for more information.

  6. Type the management application's port number in the Port text box. The default is 162.
  7. Click Apply.

    The Progress Window appears. The Progress Window contains information on the action, elapsed time, and status of the requested operation. Do one of the following:
