Step 4 Check the switches for which you want to configure a new destination.
Step 5 Set the destination IP address and UDP port.
Step 6 Choose either the trap or inform radio button.
Step 7 (Optional) Set the timeout or retry count values.
Step 8 Click Create to add this destination to the selected switches.
Step 9 (Optional) Click the Other tab to enable specific notification types per switch.
Step 10 Click the Apply changes icon to create the entry.
Note Switches can forward events (SNMP traps and informs) up to 10 destinations.
Configuring SNMPv3 Notifications
Note To configure SNMPv3 notifications using IPv4 using Fabric Manager, select v3 from the Security
drop-down list in the Create Destinations dialog box (see
Figure 40-7). Optionally, set the inform time
out and retry values. Click Create to add this destination to the selected switches.
Note In the case of SNMPv3 notifications, the SNMP manager is expected to know the user credentials
(authKey/PrivKey) based on the switch’s engineID to authenticate and decrypt the SNMP messages.
Enabling SNMP Notifications
Notifications (traps and informs) are system alerts that the switch generates when certain events occur.
You can enable or disable notifications. By default, no notification is defined or issued. If a notification
name is not specified, all notifications are disabled or enabled.
