Configuring SNMP Notifications
A trap manager is a management station that receives and processes notification types (traps). Traps are
system alerts that the ML-Series card generates when certain events occur. By default, no trap manager
is defined, and no traps are sent. To enable all traps, configure the snmp-server enable traps command
with no notification type keywords specified.
Table 22-3 describes some of the more commonly used traps supported by the ML-Series c ard. You can
enable any or all of these traps and configure a trap manager to receive them.
You can send the snmp-server host global configuration command to a specific host to receive the
notification types listed in Table 22-3.
Step 4 snmp-server user username groupname
[remote host [udp-port port]] {v1 | v2c
[access access-list]}
Configure a new user to an SNMP group.
The username is the name of the user on the host that connects to
the agent.
The groupname is the name of the group with which the user is
associated.
(Optional) Enter remote to specify a remote SNMP entity to
which the user belongs and the hostname or IP address of that
entity along with the optional UDP port number. The default UDP
port number is 162.
Enter the SNMP version number (v1 or v2c).
(Optional) Enter access access-list with a string (not to exceed
64 characters) that is the name of the access list.
Step 5 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
