l To configure a destination IPv6 address for the alarms and error codes sent from the device,
The descriptions of the command parameters are as follows:
l The default destination UDP port number is 162. In some special cases (for example, port
l The parameter securityname identifies the alarm sender, which will help you learn the alarm
l If the NM station and managed device are both Huawei products, the parameter private-
Step 6 (Optional) Run:
snmp-agent sys-info { contact contact | location location }
The equipment administrator's contact information or location is configured.
This step is required when the NM station administrator must know equipment administrators'
contact information and locations when the NM station manages many devices. This allows the
NM station administrator to contact the equipment administrators quickly for fault location and
rectification.
To configure both the equipment administrator's contact information and location, you must run
the command twice to configure them separately.

NOTE
The differences between traps and informs are as follows:
l The traps sent by the managed device do not need to be acknowledged by the NM station.
l The informs sent by the managed device need to be acknowledged by the NM station. If no
acknowledgement message from the NM station is received within a specified time period, the
managed device will resend the inform until the number of retransmissions reaches the maximum.
When the managed device sends an inform, it records the inform in the log. If the NM station and
link between the NM station and managed device recovers from a fault, the NM station can still
learn the inform sent during the fault occurrence and rectification.
In this regard, informs are more reliable than traps, but the device may need to buffer a lot of informs
because of the inform retransmission mechanism and this may consume many memory resources.
If the network is stable, using traps is recommended. If the network is unstable and the device's memory
capacity is sufficient, using informs is recommended.

udp-port can be used to specify a non-well-known UDP port number. This ensures normal
communication between the NM station and managed device.
source.
netmanager can be configured to add more information to alarms, such as the alarm type,
alarm sequence number, and alarm sending time. The information will help you locate and
rectify faults more quickly.
NOTE
An IPv6 network supports only traps, not informs.
