# Creating an SNMP Trap Destination

SNMP traps are automatically generated on TMedia platforms by the NetSNMP installation, which monitors hardware and software interfaces registered with the ifTable of the IF-MIB module. When the operation status of an interface changes, a trap is generated by NetSNMP, and sent to a destination address for processing. In order for traps to be generated, an SNMP trap destination must be defined in the Web Portal.\
\
To create an SNMP trap destination, do the following:\
NOTE: The procedure will vary, depending on whether you create a trap destination for SNMPv1/v2, or for SNMPv3.<br>

1-Click Services in the navigation panel.

Creating an SNMPv1/v2 Trap Destination

* In the trap destination configuration panel, set the following parameters if you are creating a trap destination for SNMPv1/v2:
  * Enter a name to identify the trap destination
  * Enter a destination IP Address for sending generated traps
  * Enter a destination port number, on which to send generated traps (standard default value is 162)
  * Select version 1 or 2 from SNMP Version
  * Enter the name of the SNMPv1/v2 community to use (configured previously)
  * Click Create

Creating an SNMPv3 Trap Destination

* In the trap destination configuration panel, set the following parameters if you are creating a trap destination for SNMPv3:
  * Enter a name to identify the trap destination
  * Enter a destination IP Address for sending generated traps
  * Enter a destination port number, on which to send generated traps (standard default value is 162)
  * Select version 3 from SNMP Version
  * Enter the name of the SNMPv3 user to use (configured previously)
  * Select a security level for the user from the security level drop-down box
  * Select an appropriate authentication algorithm for the user from the authentication drop-down box
  * Enter the appropriate authentication pass phrase for the user
  * Select an appropriate privacy standard for the user from the privacy protocol drop-down box
  * Enter the appropriate authentication privacy phrase for the user
  * Click Create
