SNMP Target Host Commands

snmp-server enable traps

This command enables this device to send Simple Network Management Protocol traps or informs
(i.e., SNMP notifications). Use the no form to disable SNMP notifications.

authentication - Keyword to issue authentication failure notifications.

link-up-down - Keyword to issue link-up or link-down notifications.

ethernet cfm - Connectivity Fault Management traps. For more information on these traps,
see

on page 517.

Command Mode
Global Configuration

Command Usage

If you do not enter an snmp-server enable traps command, no notifications controlled by this
command are sent. 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.

The snmp-server enable traps command is used in conjunction with the

snmp-server host

command. Use the

snmp-server host

command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP

notifications. In order to send notifications, you must configure at least one

snmp-server host

command.

The authentication, link-up, and link-down traps are legacy notifications, and therefore when
used for SNMP Version 3 hosts, they must be enabled in conjunction with the corresponding
entries in the Notify View assigned by the

snmp-server group

command.

Example

Console(config)#snmp-server enable traps link-up-down

Console(config)#
