SNMP trap configuration on an SLM

How do I configure SNMP Trap Event Triggers on an SLM?  Do I need to specify the full OID for every trap I want to use as a trigger?


This answer applies to SLM firmware v2.0 and higher.
On the SLM Events page, when you setup a "Trap" as an Event Trigger, you don't have to explicitly describe the OID down to the last digit.
Example 1:
If you define a trap as shown below: 
Trigger Type
[v] Trap            IP Address: 172.19.237.10
                    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1   
It will match all SLC custom traps received from the specified IP address(172.19.237.10).  These include:
1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.1 (power supply)
1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.2 (sysadmin password)
1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.3 (shutdown)
1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.4 (device port data)
Example 2:
If you define a trap as shown below: 
Trigger Type
[v] Trap            IP Address: 172.19.237.10
                    OID: 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5      
It will match all generic SNMP traps received from the specified IP address(172.19.237.10).  These include:
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1    (cold start)   
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2    (warm start)
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3    (link down)
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4    (link up)
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5    (auth failure)
1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.6    (egpNeighborLoss)
Example 3:
If you define a trap as shown below: 
Trigger Type
[v] Trap            IP Address: 172.19.237.10
                    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.244.1.1.0.1   
This will only match SLC power supply trap received from the specified IP address(172.19.237.10).
