To send an inform to a SNMPv2c host, complete these steps:

1.

Enable the SNMP agent (

page 556

).

2.

Create a view with the required notification messages (

page 566

).

3.

Create a group that includes the required notify view (

page 564

).

4.

Allow the switch to send SNMP traps; i.e., notifications (

page 559

).

5.

Specify the target host that will receive inform messages with the
snmp-server host command as described in this section.

To send an inform to a SNMPv3 host, complete these steps:

1.

Enable the SNMP agent (

page 556

).

2.

Create a local SNMPv3 user to use in the message exchange
process (

page 565

).

3.

Create a view with the required notification messages (

page 566

).

4.

Create a group that includes the required notify view (

page 564

).

5.

Allow the switch to send SNMP traps; i.e., notifications (

page 559

).

6.

Specify the target host that will receive inform messages with the
snmp-server host command as described in this section.

The switch can send SNMP Version 1, 2c or 3 notifications to a host IP

address, depending on the SNMP version that the management station

supports. If the snmp-server host command does not specify the

SNMP version, the default is to send SNMP version 1 notifications.

If you specify an SNMP Version 3 host, then the community string is

interpreted as an SNMP user name. The user name must first be

defined with the

snmp-server user

command. Otherwise, an SNMPv3

group will be automatically created by the snmp-server host

command using the name of the specified community string, and

default settings for the read, write, and notify view.
