snmp trap inform
mode
This command displays or sets the SNMP trap inform mode.
SYNTAX
security switch snmp trap inform mode [enable | disable]
enable - Enables sending notifications as inform messages.
disable - Disables sending notifications as inform messages.
DEFAULT SETTING
Traps are used
COMMAND USAGE
◆ This option is only available for version 2c and 3 hosts.
◆ The recipient of a trap message does not send a response to the switch.
Traps are therefore not as reliable as inform messages, which include a
request for acknowledgement of receipt. Informs can be used to ensure
that critical information is received by the host. However, note that
informs consume more system resources because they must be kept in
memory until a response is received. Informs also add to network
traffic. You should consider these effects when deciding whether to
issue notifications as traps or informs.
