Setting up SNMP alerts

You can configure the appliance to generate and send Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps to your SNMP server to monitor the hardware. The appliance uses the SNMPv2-SMI application protocol.

To configure the SNMP settings:

  1. Use any one of the following options to log in using the user account that you created:

    • Use a user account with both Appliance Administrator and Administrator role, or a user account with only an Appliance administrator role to log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale web interface https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN/webui where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server and API gateway during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Cluster Management > Cluster settings > AutoSupport.

    • Use a user account with an Appliance Administrator role to log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161 where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server and API gateway during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Settings > AutoSupport.

      Note:

      If you access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console by using the short host name from a node, set the DNS settings (name server, domain name, and search domain) or ensure that the entry for mapping the short host name to an IP address exists in the hosts file of the node.

  2. On the AutoSupport page, click SNMP settings and specify the following details:
