Table 1-1 compares trap and event messages. Refer to Event Messages for Routers

and BNX Platforms for information on how to respond to messages.

Viewing Trap Messages

You view trap messages in real time using the Trap Monitor tool. To access the

Trap Monitor, begin at the main Site Manager window and click on Traps or select

Tools➔Trap Monitor. The Trap Monitor lets you view event messages along with

trap messages.

Before using the Trap Monitor, you must use the Conﬁguration Manager to do the

following:

• Specify the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your Site Manager workstation.

• Conﬁgure the SNMP agent located inside your router to send speciﬁed trap

messages to the Site Manager workstation.
