SNMP Commands
snmp-server host
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 - Notifications are sent as inform messages. Note that this option is only available
for version 2c and 3 hosts. (Default: traps are used)
retries - The maximum number of times to resend an inform message if the recipient
does not acknowledge receipt. (Range: 0-255; Default: 3)
seconds - The number of seconds to wait for an acknowledgment before resending an
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 by itself, we recommend defining it with the
command
prior to using the snmp-server host command. (Maximum length: 32 characters)

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
command. Use the
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
command and the snmp-server host
command for that host must be enabled.
