# Creating an SNMP Trap Destination

> **Applies to:** Tmedia 2.7

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 this mechanic to function, an **SNMP trap destination** must be defined in the Web Portal.

To create an SNMP trap destination, carry out the following steps:

**NOTE:** The procedure is slightly different, dependng on whether you are creating a trap destination for SNMPv1/v2, or for SNMPv3.

* Click Create New SNMP Trap Destination (under the **SNMP Trap Destinations** heading) ![Snmp cfg create trap](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/1/16/Snmp_cfg_create_trap.gif)

**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)
  * Click on the **SNMP Version** drop-down box and select version 1 or 2
  * Enter the name of the SNMPv1/v2 **community** to use (configured previously)
  * Click **Create** ![Snmp cfg creating trap v1](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/5/52/Snmp_cfg_creating_trap_v1.gif)

**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)
  * Click on the **SNMP Version** drop-down box and select version 3
  * Enter the name of the SNMPv3 **user** to use (configured previously)
  * Click on the **security level** drop-down box, and select the appropriate **security level** for the user
  * Click on the **authentication** drop-down box, and select the appropriate **authentication algorithm** for the user
  * Enter the appropriate authentication **pass phrase** for the user
  * Click on the **privacy protocol** drop-down box, and select the appropriate **privacy standard** for the user
  * Enter the appropriate authentication **privacy phrase** for the user
  * Click **Create** ![Snmp cfg creating trap v3](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/b/bf/Snmp_cfg_creating_trap_v3.gif)
* Verify that the **"SNMP Trap Destination was Successfully Created"** message appears at the top of the following window ![Snmp cfg trap confirm](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/d/d6/Snmp_cfg_trap_confirm.gif)
* The new SNMP trap destination should appear under the **SNMP Trap Destinations** heading ![Snmp cfg trap created](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/f/fc/Snmp_cfg_trap_created.gif)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/web-portal-3-3/system/snmp/creating-an-snmp-trap-destination.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
