Subscribing to Managed Object Value Updates using SNMP
By default, the Dell Networking system displays some unsolicited SNMP messages (traps) upon certain
events and conditions.
You can also configure the system to send the traps to a management station. Traps cannot be saved on
the system.
The Dell Networking OS supports the following three sets of traps:
•RFC 1157-defined traps — coldStart, warmStart, linkDown, linkUp, authenticationFailure, and
egpNeighbborLoss.
•Dell Networking enterpriseSpecific environment traps — fan, supply, and temperature.
•Dell Networking enterpriseSpecific protocol traps — bgp, ecfm, stp, and xstp.
To configure the system to send SNMP notifications, use the following commands.
1. Configure the Dell Networking system to send notifications to an SNMP server.
CONFIGURATION mode
snmp-server host ip-address [traps | informs] [version 1 | 2c |3]
[community-string]
To send trap messages, enter the keyword traps.
To send informational messages, enter the keyword informs.
To send the SNMP version to use for notification messages, enter the keyword version.
To identify the SNMPv1 community string, enter the name of the community-string.
2. Specify which traps the Dell Networking system sends to the trap receiver.
CONFIGURATION mode
