Chapter18 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP
Some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server enable global configuration
command, such as tty and udp-port. These notification types are always enabled. You can use the
snmp-server host global configuration command to a specific host to receive the notification types
listed in Table18-4.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the access point to send traps to a
host:
syslog Enable syslog traps.
wlan-wep Enable WEP traps.
Table18-4 Notification Types (continued)
Notification Type Description
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 snmp-server host host-addr {traps | informs}
{version {1 | 2c | 3 {auth | noauth | priv}}}
community-string [udp-port port]
notification-type
Specify the recipient of the trap message.
For host-addr, specify the name or address of the
host (the targeted recipient).
Specify traps (the default) to send SNMP traps
to the host. Specify informs to send SNMP
informs to the host.
Specify the SNMP version to support. Version 1,
the default, is not available with informs.
Version 3 has three security levels:
auth—Specifies authentication of packets
without encryption
noauth—Specifies no authentication and no
encryption for packets
priv—Specifies authentication and
encryption for packets
For community-string, specify the string to send
with the notification operation. Though you can
set this string using the snmp-server host
command, Cisco recommends that you define
this string by using the snmp-server
community command before using the
snmp-server host command.
For notification-type, use the keywords listed in
Table18-4 on page 18-8.
Step3 snmp-server enable traps notification-types Enable the access point to send specific traps. For a
list of traps, see Table18-4 on page 18-8.
To enable multiple types of traps, you must issue a
separate snmp-server enable traps command for
each trap type.
Step4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
