Console(config)#snmp-server enable traps link-up-down
Console(config)#
Saving Configuration Settings
Configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and are not
saved when the switch is rebooted. To save all your configuration changes in
nonvolatile storage, you must copy the running configuration file to the start-up
configuration file using the "copy" command.
To save the current configuration settings, enter the following command:
1.
From the Privileged Exec mode prompt, type "copy running-config
startup-config" and press <Enter>.
