Command Usage
• If you do not enter an snmp-server host command, no notifications are
sent. In order to configure the switch to send SNMP notifications, you
must enter at least one snmp-server host command. In order to enable
multiple hosts, you must issue a separate snmp-server host command
for each host.
• The snmp-server host command is used in conjunction with the
snmp-server enable traps command. Use the snmp-server enable
traps command to specify which SNMP notifications are sent globally.
For a host to receive notifications, at least one snmp-server enable
traps command and the snmp-server host command for that host must
be enabled.
• Some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server
enable traps command. For example, some notification types are always
enabled.
• The switch can send SNMP version 1, 2c, or 3 notifications to a host IP
address, depending on the SNMP version that the management station
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.
