snmp-traps alerts on WSA

Hi

Is there any way to send the alert with snmp trap instead of SMTP message?

Greg,

I'm not sure I follow what you're looking to do. The WSA will email alerts to the configured addresses. We can provide SNMP Mibs, so you can setup your own SNMP traps.

Unfortunately today the SNMP support on the S-series is fairly limited - and traps are one of the things which is missing.

The good news is that we're fixing this, and the next version of AsyncOS for the S-series will have much better SNMP support, including traps.

So for the moment you're stuck with using either email messages or Syslog - but you shouldn't have to wait too long for SNMP traps!

Thank you for a fast reply. To make it clear, what do you mean by saying "next ASYNOS version" ? is it 5.5.0?

It's planned to be in AsyncOS 5.6, which is the release after AsyncOS 5.5.

Obviously nothing is set in stone until it's actually released :)
