Table 5-11 Basic SNMP Trap Configuration Command Set (Continued)
To do this...
Create a new notification entry.
Create a target address entry.
Example
This example shows how to:
•
create an SNMP community called mgmt
•
configure a trap notification called TrapSink
This trap notification will be sent with the community name mgmt to the workstation
192.168.190.80 (which is target address tr). It will use security and authorization criteria
contained in a target parameters entry called v2cExampleParams.
Matrix(rw)->set snmp community mgmt
Matrix(rw)->set snmp targetparams v2cExampleParams user mgmt
security-model v2c message-processing v2c
Matrix(rw)->set snmp notify entry1 tag TrapSink
Matrix(rw)->set snmp targetaddr tr 192.168.190.80 param v2cExampleParams
taglist TrapSink
How SNMP Will Use This Configuration
In order to send a trap/notification requested by a MIB code, the SNMP agent requires the
equivalent of a trap "door", a "key" to unlock the door, and a "procedure" for crossing the doorstep.
To determine if all these elements are in place, the SNMP agent proceeds as follows:
1. Determines if the "keys" for trap "doors" do exist. In the example configuration above, the key
that SNMP is looking for is the notification entry created with the set snmp notify command
which, in this case, is a key labeled entry1.
2. Searches for the doors matching such a key. For example, the parameters set for the entry1 key
shows that it opens only the door TrapSink.
3. Verifies that the specified door TrapSink is, in fact, available. In this case it was built using the
set snmp targetaddr command. This command also specifies that this door leads to the
management station 192.168.190.80, and the "procedure" (targetparams) to cross the doorstep
is called v2ExampleParams.
Use these commands...

set snmp targetaddr
