Assigning SNMP Switch Contact and Location Information

You can assign the switch contact information, which is limited to 32 characters (without spaces) andthe

switch location.

To configure contact and location information, follow these steps:

switch# config t

switch(config)# snmp-server contact NewUser

switch(config)# no snmp-server contact NewUser

switch(config)# snmp-server location SanJose

switch(config)# no snmp-server location SanJose

Configuring SNMP Notifications (Traps and Informs)

You can configure the Cisco MDS switch using the CLI to send notifications to SNMP managers when

particular events occur. You can send these notifications as Traps or Informs. Traps are unreliable

because the receiver does not send any acknowledgment when it receives a trap. The sender cannot

determine if the trap was received. However, an SNMP manager that receives Informs acknowledges the

message with an SNMP Response PDU. If the sender never receives a Response, the inform is normally

retransmitted. Thus, Informs are more likely to reach their intended destination.

Use the SNMP-TARGET-MIB to obtain more information on the destinations to which notifications are

to be sent either as Traps or as Informs. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family MIB Quick Reference for

more information.

The SNMP version 1 option is not available with the snmp-server host ip-address informs command.
