Configuring SNMP
Step 5 snmp-server host host-addr
[informs | traps] [version {1 | 2c | 3
{auth | noauth | priv}}]
community-string [notification-type]
Specify the recipient of an SNMP trap operation.
For host-addr, specify the name or Internet address of the host (the
targeted recipient).
(Optional) Enter informs to send SNMP informs to the host.
(Optional) Enter traps (the default) to send SNMP traps to the host.
(Optional) Specify the SNMP version (1, 2c, or 3). SNMPv1 does
not support informs.
(Optional) For Version 3, select authentication level auth, noauth,
or priv.
Note The priv keyword is available only when the cryptographic
software image is installed.
For community-string, when version 1 or version 2c is specified,
enter the password-like community string sent with the notification
operation. When version 3 is specified, enter the SNMPv3 username.
Note The @ symbol is used for delimiting the context information.
Avoid using the @ symbol as part of the SNMP community string
when configuring this command.
(Optional) For notification-type, use the keywords listed in
Tabl e 31-5 on page 31-11. If no type is specified, all notifications are
sent.
Step 6 snmp-server enable traps
notification-types
Enable the switch to send traps or informs and specify the type of
notifications to be sent. For a list of notification types, see Table 31-5 on
page 31-11, or enter snmp-server enable traps ?
To enable multiple types of traps, you must enter a separate snmp-server
enable traps command for each trap type.
Note When you configure a trap by using the notification type
port-security, configure the port security trap first, and then
configure the port security trap rate:
snmp-server enable traps port-security
snmp-server enable traps port-security trap-rate rate
Step 7 snmp-server trap-source interface-id (Optional) Specify the source interface, which provides the IP address for
the trap message. This command also sets the source IP address for
informs.
Step 8 snmp-server queue-length length (Optional) Establish the message queue length for each trap host. The
range is 1 to 1000; the default is 10.
Step 9 snmp-server trap-timeout seconds (Optional) Define how often to resend trap messages. The range is 1 to
1000; the default is 30 seconds.
Step 10 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 11 show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 12 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
