Could you please show me step by step how to configure SNMP TRAP ?

Re: How to configure SNMP TRAP on Nagios xi
Generally, you would use SNMP polling (Configure > Configuration Wizards > SNMP or SNMP Walk wizards) or active checks in order to monitor items on the remote systems. Or there may be 3rd party plugins that monitor those specific devices, it depends on what the appliance is.
The SNMP Traps would originate on the sending device so the remote device would need to support and be configured to send those SNMP Traps into xi, then you would follow this:

MIBs really only translate numbered OIDs to human readable format for SNMP polling and SNMP traps:
Or can contain SNMP Trap/Inform definitions as well.
Here are some other good links that might help fill some gaps:

Code: Select all

Code: Select all
# /usr/share/snmp/mibs/IF-MIB.txt
linkDown NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { ifIndex, ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A linkDown trap signifies that the SNMP entity, acting in
an agent role, has detected that the ifOperStatus object for
one of its communication links is about to enter the down
state from some other state (but not from the notPresent
state). This other state is indicated by the included value
of ifOperStatus."
::= { snmpTraps 3 }
linkUp NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { ifIndex, ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A linkUp trap signifies that the SNMP entity, acting in an
agent role, has detected that the ifOperStatus object for
one of its communication links left the down state and
transitioned into some other state (but not into the
notPresent state). This other state is indicated by the
included value of ifOperStatus."
::= { snmpTraps 4 }
