Real Name of System Administrator	Type the real name of the Sysop or Administrator.

3

Click Apply to apply the new settings and close the dialog box.

Configuring a default printer for notifications

To use the Print Report method on Windows, you can either configure a default printer or set the variable NVPRINTER while setting up a notification method. You can configure the default printer from the Change Settings page.

To configure a default printer for notifications:

1

In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.

2

Under User Interface, click Notification. In the Notification dialog box, under Default Printer, configure the following setting:

•

Default Printer Name: To configure a default printer for the Print Report notification method, type the printer name. Specify the exact string that is used to identify the printer in the Windows OS.

This setting is only required on Windows-based NetVault Servers.

3

Click Apply to apply the new settings and close the dialog box.

Configuring network manager host settings for notifications

Before you can use SNMP Trap method, you must configure the network manager host settings. You can configure these settings from the Change Settings page.

To configure Network Manager host settings for notifications:

1

In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.

2

Under User Interface, click Notification. In the Notification dialog box, under SNMP Traps, configure the following settings.

Table 141. Default settings for SNMP Trap notifications
Setting	Description
Trap Target Host	Type the network name or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the Network Manager host to which the SNMP traps are to be sent.
Port Number	The default listener port for SNMP traps is port number 162. If the host is configured to listen on a different port, specify the port number.
Community String	An SNMP community string is a password that is used to authenticate messages that are sent between the Network Manager Host and the agent. The community string is included in every packet that is transmitted between the SNMP manager and the SNMP agent. This Community String is set to “public,” which is the default read-only community string for most network devices. We recommend that you modify this default string and set a new password for SNMP traps.
