Target Table Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Target Table tab.

Name

Description

Name

Specifies a unique identifier for this table. The name is a community string.

TDomain

Specifies the transport type of the address. ipv4Tdomain specifies the transport type of address is an IPv4 address. ipv6Tdomain specifies the transport type of address is IPv6. The default is ipv4Tdomain.

TAddress

Specifies the transport address in xx.xx.xx.xx:port format, for example: 192.1.2.12:162, where 162 is the trap listening port on the system 192.1.2.12.

Timeout

Specifies the maximum round trip time required to communicate with the transport address. The value is in 1/100 seconds from 0–2147483647. The default is 1500.

After the system sends a message to this address, if a response (if one is expected) is not received within this time period, you can assume that the response is not delivered.

RetryCount

Specifies the maximum number of retries if a response is not received for a generated message. The count can be in the range of 0–255. The default is 3.

TagList

Contains a list of tag values used to select target addresses for a particular operation. A tag refers to a class of targets to which the messages can be sent.

Params

Contains SNMP parameters used to generate messages to send to this transport address. For example, to receive SNMPv2C traps, use TparamV2.

TMask

Specifies the mask. The value can be empty or in six-byte hex string format. Tmask is an optional parameter that permits an entry in the TargetAddrTable to specify multiple addresses.

MMS

Specifies the maximum message size. The size can be zero, or 484–2147483647. The default is 484.

Although the maximum message size is 2147483647, the device supports the maximum SNMP packet size of 8192.
