Setting the Agent Contact and Location Information
The snmp-server host command specifies which hosts receive the notifications. The snmp-server
enable trap command globally enables the mechanism for the specified notification (for traps and
inform requests). To enable a host to receive an inform request, you must configure an
snmp-server host informs command for the host and globally enable inform requests by using the
snmp-server enable traps command.
To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the no snmp-server host host global
configuration command. The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not
inform requests, to the host. To disable inform requests, use the no snmp-server host informs global
configuration command. To disable a specific trap type, use the no snmp-server enable traps
notification-types global configuration command.
Setting the Agent Contact and Location Information
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the system contact and location of the
SNMP agent so that these descriptions can be accessed through the configuration file:
Step 6
snmp-server trap-source interface-id
(Optional) Specify the source interface, which provides the IP address for
the trap message. This command also sets the source IP address for
inform requests.
Step 7
snmp-server queue-length length
(Optional) Establish how many trap messages each trap host can hold
(message queue length.) The range is 1 to 1000; the default is 10.
Step 8
snmp-server trap-timeout seconds
(Optional) Define how often to resend trap messages. The range is 1 to
1000; the default is 30 seconds.
Step 9
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 10
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 11
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
