Configuring Address-Assignment Pool Usage Threshold Traps

You can receive advanced warning that an address pool or linked set of address pools is running short on available addresses by setting usage threshold traps. An address pool has SNMP thresholds associated with it that allow the local address server to signal SNMP traps when certain conditions exist. These thresholds include high utilization threshold and abated utilization threshold. If a pool's outstanding addresses exceed the high utilization threshold and the SNMP trap signaling is enabled, SNMP is notified. Likewise, when a pool's utilization drops below the abated threshold utilization threshold, SNMP is notified. When the system reaches the high utilization value, it sends warning messages. When memory usage falls to the abated utilization value, the system stops sending warning messages.

To set the usage for threshold traps:

  • Specify the percentage after which the address pool usage is exceeded that an SNMP trap is generated.
    [edit access]user@host# edit address-assignment high-utilization 95

To set the abated value for the trap:

  • Specify the percentage below which the address pool usage is abated that an SNMP trap is generated.
    [edit access]user@host# edit address-assignment abated-utilization 80
