Chapter 72 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP
The snmp-server host command specifies which hosts receive the notifications. The
snmp-server enable trap command globally enables the mechanism for the specified notification (for
traps and informs). To enable a host to receive an inform, you must configure an
snmp-server host informs command for the host and globally enable informs by using the
snmp-server enable traps command.
To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the no snmp-server host host global
configuration command. The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not
informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs global configuration
command. To disable a specific trap type, use the no snmp-server enable traps notification-types global
configuration command.
Setting the Agent Contact and Location Information
To set the system contact and location of the SNMP agent so that these descriptions can be accessed
using the configuration file, perform this task:
Step 5
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable
traps notification-types
Enables the switch to send traps or informs and specify the type of
notifications to be sent. For a list of notification types, see Table 72-3 on
page 72-11, or enter this: snmp-server enable traps ?
To enable multiple types of traps, you must enter a separate snmp-server
enable traps command for each trap type.
Step 6
Switch(config)# snmp-server
trap-source interface-id
(Optional) Specifies the source interface, which provides the IP address
for the trap message. This command also sets the source IP address for
informs.
Step 7
Switch(config)# snmp-server
queue-length length
(Optional) Establishes the message queue length for each trap host. The
range is 1 to 1000; the default is 10.
Step 8
Switch(config)# snmp-server
trap-timeout seconds
(Optional) Defines how often to resend trap messages. The range is 1 to
1000; the default is 30 seconds.
Step 9
Switch(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 10
Switch# show running-config
Verifies your entries.
Step 11
Switch# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
