Create a NMS trap response action

Procedure

1. Review Create or edit a response action.
2. Select NMS Trap from the Action Type list.
3. Click NMS Trap Destination and Settings (or click Next), and then enter the following:
   • NMS IP address — Specify the IP address of the NMS system.
   • Destination Port — Type a Destination Port (any value from 1-65535) or accept the default port (162).
4. Click SNMP Settings (or click Next), and then enter the following:
   • SNMP Version — Select the version of the SNMP agent to use for traps (version 2 or 3).
   • Test OID — Specifies the object identifier (OID) used for the trap.
   • Community-based Security Model — If using SNMPv2, specify the community string (for example: "public") to use when sending trap messages.
   • User-based Security Model — If using SNMPv3, specify the username and the authentication method and information required in your security model.
5. Click Primary Action Settings (or click Next), and then enter the following:
   • Primary Action type — Select RADIUS Reauthentication (default), VLAN isolation, or disable port to specify the action.
   • NAM rule — Specify the NAM rule if the NMS requires it.
   • Active Directory Group — Specify the active directory group to use for lookup.
   • Quarantine VLAN — Specify the quarantine VLAN address.
   • Perform VLAN check — Specify whether to check for VLAN preconditions before attempting this action.
   • Drop Port Link — Drops the port link for 10 seconds if this action is successful. In some configurations, such as 802.1x with an XP client, this causes a DHCP lease renewal.

   Note This is the criteria used to enact the SMS response action. It is attempted first if you configure secondary and final settings for the action.

6. (Optional) Click Secondary Action Settings (or click Next) to specify the secondary action settings.
   These options are the same as what is described for primary action settings.
