Testing Management Applications

This topic contains instructions on how to test the IP addresses and port numbers of external management applications to ensure they can receive Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps from the library. This test simply sends the traps; it does not check to see if they were received. You must check the external management applications to verify that the traps were received. For more information about SNMP trap registration, see About SNMP Trap Registration.

    The Setup - SNMP Trap Registrations screen appears.

  2. Click Test.

    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:

  1. Check the management application to verify that the traps were received.
