Defining or modifying a trap

To define or modify a trap, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: snmp traps trapname.parm value trapname is the name of the user-defined trap you want to create or change. parm is one of the following parameters. For more information about these parameters, see SNMP parameters. `var` `trap-id` `trigger` `edge-1 and edge-2` `edge-1-direction and edge-2-direction` `interval` `interval-offset` `rate-interval` `backoff-calculator` `backoff-step` `backoff-multiplier` `priority` `message` value is the value you assign to trapname.parm.

Step

Action

Enter the following command:

snmp traps trapname.parm value

trapname is the name of the user-defined trap you want to create or change.

parm is one of the following parameters. For more information about these parameters, see SNMP parameters.

var
trap-id
trigger
edge-1 and edge-2
edge-1-direction and edge-2-direction
interval
interval-offset
rate-interval
backoff-calculator
backoff-step
backoff-multiplier
priority
message

value is the value you assign to trapname.parm.

Example of trap definitions

The following example sets a cifstotalops trap [1] that is evaluated every 10 seconds [2]. The value received from the previous evaluation and the current value are used to calculate the number of CIFS operations per hour [3]. If the number exceeds one million [4], the trap fires and continues to fire every hour [5] until the total number of CIFS operations drops below one million.
