Notification Recipients

Cisco 350, 350X and 550X Series Managed Switches, Firmware Release 2.4, ver 0.4
The Trap Settings page enables configuring whether SNMP notifications are sent from the
device, and for which cases. The recipients of the SNMP notifications can be configured in the
SNMPv1.2 Notification Recipients
To define trap settings:
Click SNMP > Trap Settings.
Select Enable for SNMP Notifications to specify that the device can send SNMP
notifications.
Select Enable for Authentication Notifications to enable SNMP authentication failure
notification.
Click Apply. The SNMP Trap settings are written to the Running Configuration file.
Trap messages are generated to report system events, as defined in RFC 1215. The system can
generate traps defined in the MIB that it supports.
Trap receivers (Notification Recipients) are network nodes to which trap messages are sent by
the device. A list of notification recipients can be defined.
A trap receiver entry contains the IP address of the node and the SNMP credentials
corresponding to the version that is included in the trap message. When an event arises that
requires a trap message to be sent, it is sent to every node listed in the Notification Recipient
Table.
The SNMPv1.2 Notification Recipients
enable configuring the destination to which SNMP notifications are sent, and the types of
SNMP notifications that are sent to each destination (traps or informs). The Add/Edit pop-ups
enable configuring the attributes of the notifications.
An SNMP notification is a message sent from the device to the SNMP management station
indicating that a certain event has occurred, such as a link up/down.
