This command specifies the recipient of a Simple Network Management Protocol notification
operation. Use the no form to remove the specified host.

Syntax

snmp-server host host-addr [inform [retry retries | timeout seconds]] community-string

[version {1 | 2c | 3 {auth | noauth | priv} [udp-port port]}

no snmp-server host host-addr

host-addr - IPv4 or IPv6 address of the host (the targeted recipient). (Maximum host
addresses: 5 trap destination IP address entries)

inform message. (Range: 0-2147483647 centiseconds; Default: 1500 centiseconds)

community-string - Password-like community string sent with the notification operation to
SNMP V1 and V2c hosts. Although you can set this string using the snmp-server host

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 enable the sending of traps or

informs and 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.
