Chapter 21 Configuring SNMP

Configuring SNMP

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
informs). To enable a host to receive an inform, you must configure an snmp-server host informs
command for the host and globally enable informs 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
informs, to the host. To disable informs, 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.

Step 5

snmp-server host host-addr
[informs | traps] [version {1 | 2c | 3
{auth | noauth | priv}}]
community-string [notification-type]

Specify the recipient of an SNMP trap operation.

•

For host-addr, specify the name or Internet address of the host (the
targeted recipient).

•

(Optional) Enter informs to send SNMP informs to the host.

•

(Optional) Enter traps (the default) to send SNMP traps to the host.

•

(Optional) Specify the SNMP version (1, 2c, or 3). SNMPv1 is not
available with informs.

•

(Optional) For Version 3, select authentication level auth, noauth, or
priv.

Note

The priv keyword is available only when the cryptographic
software image is installed.

•

For community-string, when version 1 or version 2c is specified,
enter the password-like community string sent with the notification
operation. When version 3 is specified, enter the SNMPv3 username.

•

(Optional) For notification-type, use the keywords listed in

Table 21-4 on page 21-10

. If no type is specified, all notifications are

sent.

Step 6

snmp-server enable traps
notification-types

Enable the switch to send traps or informs and specify the type of
notifications to be sent. For a list of notification types, see

Table 21-4 on

page 21-10

, or enter this: snmp-server enable traps ?

To enable multiple types of traps, you must enter a separate snmp-server
enable traps
command for each trap type.

Step 7

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
informs.

Step 8

snmp-server queue-length length

(Optional) Establish the message queue length for each trap host. The
range is 1 to 1000; the default is 10.

Step 9

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 10

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 11

show running-config

Verify your entries.

Step 12

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
