supports. If the snmp-server host command does not specify the SNMP version, the default is to send SNMP version 1 notifications.

•If you specify an SNMP Version 3 host, then the community string is interpreted as an SNMP user name. If you use the V3 “auth” or “priv” options, the user name must first be defined with the snmp-server user command. Otherwise, the authentication password and/or privacy password will not exist, and the switch will not authorize SNMP access for the host. However, if you specify a V3 host with the “noauth” option, an SNMP user account will be generated, and the switch will authorize SNMP access for the host.

In order to configure this device to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server enable traps command. If you enter the command with no keywords, both authentication and link-up-down notifications are enabled. If you enter the command with a keyword, only the notification type related to that keyword is enabled.
