SNMP Throttling

Using SNMP Throttling, you can reduce the flooding of SNMP traps. You can manage the flooding by configuring the nodes with appropriate parameters for the trap events.

To configure SNMP Throttling:

1. On the right side of the top navigation bar, click .
2. On the left navigation pane, go to System, click SNMP Traps > SNMP Throttling . The SNMP Throttling page is displayed.
3. Click Edit. For each of the traps configure the following:
   • Permissions: Enable or disable the throttle. Click the Ellipses at the top to enable or disable throttle for all the traps.
   • Throttling Interval: Configure the throttling interval. The throttling interval is configured by default for some of the traps (which is displayed in the page).
   • Report Threshold: Configure the threshold limit for each of the traps based on which a throttle report trap is sent at the end of the interval. You can view the report in the Alarms and Events page.
4. Click Apply to apply the configuration.

Note:  SNMP throttling is available for all traps for all devices running software version 5.5.00 and above. For devices running earlier versions, SNMP throttling is available only for the following three traps:

■

Link Status or Speed Change

■

Packet Drop

■

Packet Rx/Tx Error

SNMP throttling from device is different from throttling Near-Real Time status notification from GigaVUE‑FM to GigaVUE‑FM GUI. GigaVUE‑FM throttles all the events (SNMP events sent by the device, state changes performed by the user, and status updates through GigaVUE‑FM), and the events are pushed at the cluster level, summary level and global level. Refer to the following table for more details:

Throttle Level	GUI Screens	Count and Interval	Description
Cluster	GUI screens related to cluster	2 events per 5 second	Events to the particular cluster will be throttled
Summary	Dashboard, Physical nodes		Events across all the cluster will be throttled
Global	GUI screens related to solutions		Events across all the solutions will be throttled
