Summary
NetScaler can be configured to send SNMP communication to Command Center and other third party SNMP management systems. This is accomplished by configuring an SNMP Manager Host that allows the IP address of this system. By default, NetScaler uses its NetScaler IP (NSIP) as the source IP address of this communication stream. If necessary, the Netscaler can be configured to use a SNIP or MIP address as the source.
Procedure
Configure the MIP or SNIP to accept the traffic from an SNMP Manager by enabling the SNMP and Enable Management Access control to support the below listed applications.
By navigating to System > SNMP > Traps and selecting the appropriate type, you can change the Source IP address of the Trap to that of a system owned SNIP or MIP.
The CLI command to enable SNMP Management Access for a SNIP:
set ns ip 10.12.33.19 255.255.248.0 -mgmtAccess ENABLED
The CLI command below changes the source IP address for traps.
set snmp trap <trapClass> <trapDestination> -srcIP 10.12.33.19
Note: The same can be done with a MIP as well.
Note: Other protocol might need to be disabled for security reasons.
