Setup v2 Trap to Specific Management Station

Consider the query: I want to send a v2 trap to the destination 192.12.34.5:416. How do I do it?

The easy way to do this is to configure the agent for SNMPv1/v2 as illustrated below.

At this point we can specify the type of packets, the packet’s destination and some transport parameters.

For this example we need to add a row to the Target Address Table with the destination (192.12.34.5:416) timeout and retry parameters, the SNMP version (v2), the community string the target Management Station is expecting. The last element is a tag which connects this row with the entry in the Notify Table which specifies a trap.

Finally we can configure the agent to send a "Cold Start" generic trap whenever the agent is started by making sure the "Send Authorization Trap" checkbox on the "Security/Authorization" page is checked.

Now when you click the "OK" button the agent is ready to go. If you stoped the agent when you started the configurator, then ending the configurator will give you the option to re-start the agent. Otherwise you will need to start the agent through the service manager. When the agent starts it will send a trap to the target computer.
