Chapter 4 Administering the Switch Managing the MAC Address Table
To configure MAC move notification, perform this task:
This example shows how to specify 172.69.59.93 as the network management system, enable the switch
to send MAC move notification traps to the NMS, enable the MAC move notification feature, and enable
traps whenever a MAC address moves from one port to another:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# snmp-server host 171.69.59.93 private mac-notification
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps mac-notification move
Switch(config)# mac address-table notification mac-move
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show mac address-table notification mac-move
MAC Move Notification: Enabled
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 snmp-server host host-addr [traps|informs] {version
{1|2c|3}} [auth | noauth | priv] community-string
[udp-port port] [notification-type]
Specifies the recipient of the trap message.
For host-addr, specify the name or address of the
NMS.
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.
For community-string, specify the string to send
with the notification operation. Though you can
set this string by using the snmp-server host
command, we recommend that you define this
string by using the snmp-server community
command before using the snmp-server host
command.
For notification-type, use the mac-notification
keyword.
Step 3 snmp-server enable traps mac-notification move Enables the switch to send MAC move notification
traps to the NMS.
To disable the switch from sending MAC
notification traps, use the
no snmp-server enable traps mac-notification
move global configuration command.
Step 4 mac address-table notification mac-move Enables the MAC-move notification feature.
To disable this feature, use the
no mac-address-table notification mac-move
global configuration command.
Step 5 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 show mac address-table notification mac-move
show running-config Displays the MAC-move notification status.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration
file.
