SNMP Notification and Traps
The switches covered in this guide support the SNMPv3 notification process.
They also support version 1or version 2c traps. For more information on
version 1 or version 2c traps, see "Trap Features" on page 13-20. The SNMPv3
notification process allows for the messages passed to be authenticated and
encrypted if you choose. To set up a SNMPv3 notification there are three steps:
1. Establish a Notification with the snmpv3 notify command.
2. Point the notification to a Address with the snmpv3 targetaddress com
mand.
3. Establish a parameter record for the target address with the snmpv3
params command.
Syntax: [no] snmpv3 notify < notify-name > [ tagvalue < tag-name > ]
This adds or deletes a notification request. To remove
a mapping you only need the notify-name.
[no] snmpv3 targetaddress < addr-name > params < parms-name>
< IP-Addr >
Add or delete an address where notification messages
are sent.
