How to configure a device to send SNMP traps?

Site24x7's On-Premise Poller listens to traps from network devices on UDP port 162.

Please follow the below steps to configure your device to send SNMP traps to Site24x7's On-Premise Poller. This can be done on your device either by using a GUI or CLI.

Ensure that SNMP is enabled.
Enable traps on your network device as needed.
Set the trap destination host address as the IP address or the host name of the respective On-Premise Poller.
Set the trap destination port to be 162.
Specify a Community String. You can use any value—Site24x7's On-Premise Poller does not validate the community string for incoming traps.
Save the configuration.

Now, your network device should start sending traps to Site24x7's On-Premise Poller.

Ensure that UDP port 162 is open and not blocked by your network firewall or the On-Premise Poller machine's local firewall. For more information, refer to your firewall documentation or consult your network administrator.

You can also test if your On-Premise Poller is receiving SNMP traps.

The configuration varies with vendors, so we recommend you refer to your vendor documentation on how to configure traps. Here are a few examples:

Cisco, HP, Juniper, Fortigate, NETGEAR, Palo Alto Networks, IBM, SonicWall
