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:

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.

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.

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.

Verifies that the v2ExampleParams description of how to step through the door is, in fact,

there. The agent checks targetparams entries and determines this description was made with

the set snmp targetparams command, which tells exactly which SNMP protocol to use and

what community name to provide. In this case, the community name is mgmt.

Verifies that the mgmt community name is available. In this case, it has been configured using

the set snmp community command.

Sends the trap notification message.
