Send SNMP v2c Informs

Enabling and Configuring SNMP Informs

You can use the snmp-server informs command (SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 versions) to send notifications when certain events occur. When an SNMP Manager receives an informs request, it can send an SNMP response back to the sending agent. This lets the agent know that the informs request reached its destination and that traps can be sent successfully to that destination.

Informs requests can be sent several times until a response is received from the SNMP manager or the configured retry limits are reached. The request may also timeout.

To enable SNMP informs, enter this command:

Syntax: [no] snmp-server enable informs

Enables or disables the informs option for SNMP.

Default: Disabled

To configure SNMP informs request options, use the following commands.

Syntax: [no] snmp-server informs [retries<retries>] [timeout<seconds>] [pending <pending>]

Allows you to configure options for SNMP informs requests.

retries: Maximum number of times to resend an informs request. Default: 3

timeout: Number of seconds to wait for an acknowledgement before resending the

informs request. Default: 30 seconds

pending: Maximum number of informs waiting for acknowledgement at any one time. When the maximum configured number is reached, older pending informs are discarded. Default: 25

To specify the manager that receives the informs request, use the snmp-server host command.

Syntax: snmp-server host < ip-address>[<traps informs>] [version <1 2c 3>]< community-string >

Using community name and destination IP address, this command designates a destination network-management station for receiving SNMP event log messages from the switch. If you do not specify the event level, then the switch does not send event log messages as traps. You can specify up to 10 trap receivers (network management stations).

Note: In all cases, the switch sends any threshold trap(s) or informs to the network management station(s) that explicitly set the threshold(s).
