To configure the SNMP Trap Listener:
Note: If the Windows SNMP Trap Service (Control Panel > Services) is running on the WhatsUp Gold console PC, you should stop the service. This is a precaution to prevent any conflict with the WhatsUp Passive Monitor Listener.
Note: When you change the port number, the change takes place as soon as you save the change; you do not have to re-start WhatsUp Gold for the change to take effect.
Caution: When this option is selected, every SNMP trap that is received by WhatsUp Gold is logged to the database. Enabling this option can result in a large database that impacts performance; we strongly advise that you leave this option disabled, except when you are troubleshooting.
Note: To configure SNMP traps initially, we recommend enabling the Any SNMP trap on the source device; you can then see all incoming traps sent from that device in the Device SNMP Trap Log. After you configure the trap successfully, you should disable the Any trap, as it may also log large amounts of data.
Note: You can forward traps to multiple IP addresses.
Tip: You can Edit and/or Remove IP addresses from this list.
