SNMP trap message commands

If the switch detects an irregular event, it generates a trap. A trap is a notification message that can be sent to predefined network management stations. A trap event can be a cold or warm reset, detection of a port link status change, an SNMP authentication failure due to an incorrect community string, or similar event.

The SNMP trap commands let you specify

whether the Express 10/100 Switch issues an authentication trap.

which NMSs (up to five) the SNMP agent sends traps to.

get-auth

Displays the authentication trap setting. By default, authentication trap messages are enabled.

set-auth

set-auth {onoff}

Changes the authentication trap setting. The default is on, meaning the switch generates authentication traps. Specifying off prevents the switch from sending authentication traps.

get-traps

Displays the list of trap-receiving stations (their IP address and trap SNMP community string). By default, none are assigned.
