Using the Trap Monitor
114083 Rev. A 2-19
The Trap Monitor window displays only those trap messages that you specify.
Refer to “Clearing the Trap Monitor Window,” later in this chapter, to learn how to
remove unwanted messages from the window.
Filtering by Router IP Address
Filtering messages by IP source address specifies which routers’ trap messages
you want to appear in the Trap Monitor window. Specifying a full IP address
causes the Trap Monitor to show trap messages that originate from the SNMP
agent at that address only.
Specifying a partial IP address causes the Trap Monitor to show trap messages
from all router SNMP agents that have the same partial IP address that you specify
in the address filters window.
To configure an address filter from the Trap Monitor window, follow these steps:
1. Select View > Set Address Filters.
The Address Filters window appears
(Figure 2-16).
Figure 2-16. Address Filters Window
A default address filter of 0.0.0.0 causes the Trap Monitor to display trap
messages from all Bay Networks routers that you configure to send trap
messages to your Site Manager workstation.
The default address filter entry, 255.255.255.255, is merely a placeholder for
an IP address that you choose to enter.
