Send SNMP v2c Informs
Enabling and Configuring SNMP Informs
You can use the snmp-server informs command (SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 versions) to send notifications
when certain events occur. When an SNMP Manager receives an informs request, it can send an SNMP
response back to the sending agent. This lets the agent know that the informs request reached its
destination and that traps can be sent successfully to that destination.
Informs requests can be sent several times until a response is received from the SNMP manager or
the configured retry limits are reached. The request may also timeout.
To enable SNMP informs, enter this command:
To configure SNMP informs request options, use the following commands.
To specify the manager that receives the informs request, use the snmp-server host command.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server enable informs
Enables or disables the informs option for SNMP.
Default: Disabled
Syntax: [no] snmp-server informs [retries<retries>] [timeout<seconds>] [pending <pending>]
Allows you to configure options for SNMP informs requests.
retries: Maximum number of times to resend an informs request. Default: 3
timeout: Number of seconds to wait for an acknowledgement before resending the
informs request. Default: 30 seconds
pending: Maximum number of informs waiting for acknowledgement at any one
time. When the maximum configured number is reached, older pending informs
are discarded. Default: 25
Syntax: snmp-server host < ip-address >[<traps | informs>] [version <1 | 2c | 3>]< community-string >
Using community name and destination IP address, this command
designates a destination network-management station for receiving SNMP
event log messages from the switch. If you do not specify the event level,
then the switch does not send event log messages as traps. You can specify
up to 10 trap receivers (network management stations).
Note: In all cases, the switch sends any threshold trap(s) or informs to the
network management station(s) that explicitly set the threshold(s).
