Configuring SNMP Notifications
A trap manager is a management station that receives and processes traps. Traps are system alerts that the
switch generates when certain events occur. By default, no trap manager is defined, and no traps are sent.
Switches running this Cisco IOS release can have an unlimited number of trap managers.
Many commands use the word traps in the command syntax. Unless there is an option in the command
to select either traps or informs, the keyword traps refers to traps, informs, or both. Use the snmp-server
host global configuration command to specify whether to send SNMP notifications as traps or informs.
Note
You can use the snmp-server host global configuration command for a specific host to receive the notification
types listed in the following table. You can enable any or all of these traps and configure a trap manager to
receive them.
