SNMP
CREATE HOST
Use the snmp create host command to configure the recipients of SNMP notifications, either traps or informs.
Traps are asynchronous, unacknowledged messages sent from the agent to the SNMP managers listed in the host
receiver table. Informs (available in SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 only) are asynchronous messages sent from the agent
to the manager that require acknowledgement.
Informs consume more system resources, since each has to be held in memory until an acknowledgment is received
(at which point the inform is discarded). The inform will be resent if an acknowledge is not received within a
certain period.
Trap are sent by default if the notification type is unspecified.

Examples • Set up SNMPv3 trap notifications for user1 on host 192.168.0.3 (traps and UDP 162 is implied by defaults):

Specifies details of the host where notifications are to be sent. The host is specified
by its hostname or IP address, and may optionally specify the UDP transport type
and port number to use when sending notifications.
HOST uses the following format:
{[ |
udp:
(Optional) For
used by the host/manager. If UDP type is not specified, it is assumed to be UDP.
For address, specify the hostname or address in IPv4 or IPv6 format of the manager.
A UDP port number may optionally be specified. If port is not specified, it is
assumed to be the default UDP port (162).
For example, udp:192.168.0.4:162 sets up host 192.168.0.4 on UDP port 162.
| ] (Optional) Specifies the host SNMP version used by the host/manager and thus the
v3
format of the notifications sent.
Specify the community secret needed to access the host. The following restrictions
apply to the community secret:
• maximum of 32 alpha-numeric characters (case sensitive)
• no spaces, punctuation or other special characters
• first character must be a letter
| { engine-id} (Optional) Specifies the type of notifications to send, either traps or informs.
inform
For engine-id, specify the engine-id of the manager (this option is required when
used with SNMPv3 informs.
