SNMP inform recipient
An SNMP inform is similar to the SNMP trap except that the management station that receives an
SNMP inform acknowledges the system message with an SNMP response packet data unit (PDU).
If the sender does not receive the SNMP response PDU, the inform request can be sent again. An
SNMP inform request is saved in the switch memory until a response is received or the request
times out. The informs are more reliable and they consume more resources in the device and in the
network. Use SNMP informs only if it is important that the management station receives all event
notifications. Otherwise, use the SNMP traps. Brocade devices support SNMPv3 informs.
Configuring the SNMPv3 inform recipient
To configure the SNMPv3 host to receive the SNMP informs, perform the following steps.
1. Log in to the switch as admin.
2. Execute the snmpConfig
--
set snmpv3 command to configure the inform recipient. When
prompted to enable the SNMP informs, enter true or t. Informs are disabled by default.
switch:admin> snmpconfig --set snmpv3
SNMP Informs Enabled (true, t, false, f): [false] t
SNMPv3 user configuration(snmp user not configured in FOS user database will
have physical AD and admin role as the default):
User (rw): [snmpadmin1]
