Syntax: [no] snmp-server enable traps [snmp-auth | password-change-mgr | login-

failure-mgr | port-security | auth-server-fail | dhcp-snooping | arp-protect]

Enables or disables sending one of the security notification
types listed below to configured trap receivers. (Unless
otherwise stated, all of the following notifications are
enabled in the default configuration.

arp-protect

sends a trap if ARP packets are received with an invalid

source or destination MAC address, an invalid IP address, or an invalid
IP-to-MAC binding.

TACACS+ authentication server fails.

dhcp-snooping

sends a trap if DHCP packets are received from an

untrusted source or if DHCP packets contain an invalid IP-to-MAC
binding.

link-change < port-list >

sends a trap when the link state on a port

changes from up to down, or the reverse.

login-failure-mgr

sends a trap for a failed login with a manager

password.

sends a trap for a failed

authentication attempt via SNMP. Default: extended.

To determine the specific cause of a security event, check the event log in the
