be automatically generated, and the ECN330-switch will authorize
SNMP access for the host.
• Notifications are issued by the ECN330-switch as trap messages by
default. The recipient of a trap message does not send a response to
the ECN330-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. These effects should be considered
when deciding whether to issue notifications as traps or informs.

1. Enable the SNMP agent (page 108).
2. Enable trap informs as described in the following pages.
3. Create a view with the required notification messages (page 123).
4. Create a group that includes the required notify view (page 121).
