Chapter 21 Configuring SNMP

Configuring SNMP

The snmp-server host command specifies which hosts receive the notifications. The snmp-server
enable trap
command globally enables the mechanism for the specified notification (for traps and
informs). To enable a host to receive an inform, you must configure an snmp-server host informs
command for the host and globally enable informs by using the snmp-server enable traps command.

To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the no snmp-server host host global
configuration command. The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not
informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs global configuration
command. To disable a specific trap type, use the no snmp-server enable traps notification-types
global configuration command.

Step 5

snmp-server host host-addr
[informs | traps] [version {1 | 2c | 3
{auth | noauth | priv}}]
community-string [notification-type]

Specify the recipient of an SNMP trap operation.

For host-addr, specify the name or Internet address of the host (the
targeted recipient).

(Optional) Enter informs to send SNMP informs to the host.

(Optional) Enter traps (the default) to send SNMP traps to the host.

(Optional) Specify the SNMP version (1, 2c, or 3). SNMPv1 is not
available with informs.

(Optional) For Version 3, select authentication level auth, noauth, or
priv.

Note

The priv keyword is available only when the cryptographic
software image is installed.

For community-string, when version 1 or version 2c is specified,
enter the password-like community string sent with the notification
operation. When version 3 is specified, enter the SNMPv3 username.

(Optional) For notification-type, use the keywords listed in

Table 21-4 on page 21-10

. If no type is specified, all notifications are

sent.

Step 6

snmp-server enable traps
notification-types

Enable the switch to send traps or informs and specify the type of
notifications to be sent. For a list of notification types, see

Table 21-4 on

page 21-10

, or enter this: snmp-server enable traps ?

To enable multiple types of traps, you must enter a separate snmp-server
enable traps
command for each trap type.

Step 7

snmp-server trap-source interface-id

(Optional) Specify the source interface, which provides the IP address for
the trap message. This command also sets the source IP address for
informs.

Step 8

snmp-server queue-length length

(Optional) Establish the message queue length for each trap host. The
range is 1 to 1000; the default is 10.

Step 9

snmp-server trap-timeout seconds

(Optional) Define how often to resend trap messages. The range is 1 to
1000; the default is 30 seconds.

Step 10

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 11
