TrapSink

Note: This example illustrates how to configure an SNMPv2 trap notification. Creating an SNMPv1

or v3 Trap, or an SNMPv3 Inform notification would require using the same commands with

different parameters, where appropriate. Always ensure that v1/v2 communities or v3 users used

for generating traps or informs are pre-configured with enough privileges to access corresponding

MIBs.

Table 5-2 Basic SNMP Trap Configuration Command Set

To do this... Use these commands...

Create a community name. set snmp community (“set snmp community” on

page 5-16)

Create an SNMP target parameters entry. set snmp targetparams (“set snmp targetparams” on

page 5-27)

Verify if any applicable SNMP notification

entries exist.

show snmp notify (“show snmp notify” on page 5-33)

Create a new notification entry. set snmp notify (“set snmp notify” on page 5-35)

Create a target address entry. set snmp targetaddr (“set snmp targetaddr” on page 5-30)
