For an SNMP management station to receive a trap generated by the agent, the administrator must
configure a trap recipient to correspond to the IP address of the management station. In addition,
the trap recipient must be able to pass the access control list (ACL) check as described in the
Access Control category.

Trap Recipient Severity Level
When an event occurs and its severity level is at or below the set value, the Event Trap traps
(swEventTrap, connUnitEventTrap and swFabricWatchTrap), are sent to configured trap recipients.
By default, this value is set at 0, implying that no Event Trap is sent. Possible values are

SNMPv3 Configuration Parameters
Two user roles, snmpadmin and snmpuser are supported. The snmpadmin role provides read-write
access and the snmpuser role provides read-only access. Entries are added to the USM table
corresponding to each role. A total of three entries for snmpadmin and snmpuser respectively are
supported. Separate default passwords are provided for creation of authKey and privKey for each
entry. The default set of passwords is published and the default algorithm (MD5/SHA) is used to
create the initial set of authentication keys. You can change these passwords using this option. You
can select the authentication protocol MD5/SHA or no authentication for each entry.

The following combinations of protocols are supported:

NoAuth/NoPriv

Auth/NoPriv

Auth/Priv

The user name must be between 2 and 32 characters long. The default user names are defined
with the noAuth and noPriv protocol. The factory default SNMPv3 user names are:

User 1: snmpadmin1

User 2: snmpadmin2

User 3: snmpadmin3

User 4: snmpuser1

User 5: snmpuser2

User 6: snmpuser3

The --default option sets the user name and password to default.

If an FCS policy is enabled, the configuration has to be updated on the primary switch and the
nonprimary switches; unlike community strings, user names and passwords are not distributed for
other switches in the fabric.
