# Step 4. Configure SNMP Settings

At the **SNMP Settings** step of the wizard, specify trap notification settings that can be used for sending notifications about alarms.

To specify SNMP receiver configuration settings:

1. Click **Add**.
2. Click **Configure** to open the **SNMP Receiver Configuration** window.
3. In the **Receiver** field, specify DNS name or IP address of the SNMP receiver. 
4. In the **Port** field, specify the port number to be used. 

   The default SNMP port is 162.

5. In the **Community string** field, enter the community identifier.
6. Click **OK** to apply the specified settings.

To add a new receiver to the list, click **Add** and repeat steps 2–7 described above.

Note that after you configure notification settings, you must configure SNMP service properties on the trap recipient computers:

1. Install a standard Microsoft SNMP agent from the Windows distribution. 
2. From the Start menu, select **Control Panel** > **Administrative Tools** > **Services**. 
3. Double-click **SNMP Service** to open the **SNMP Service Properties** window. 
4. Click the **Traps** tab.
5. Add the public string to the **Community name** list and the host name to the **Trap destinations** list. 
6. Click the **Security** tab. 
7. Make sure the **Send authentication trap** option is selected. 
8. Add the public string to the **Accepted community names** list.
9. Select the **Accept SNMP packets from any hosts** option.
10. Click **Apply** and then **OK** to accept changes. 

::: note

By default, Veeam ONE alarms are not configured to send SNMP traps when the alarm state changes. To enable SNMP traps for an alarm, you should change alarm action settings. For details, see [Enable SNMP Notification for Alarms](enable_snmp_notifications.md).
