SNMPv3 Notification and Traps
The switches covered in this guide support the SNMPv3 notification process.
They also support version 1 or version 2c traps. For more information on
version 1 or version 2c traps, refer to “SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c Trap Features”
on page 14-19. The SNMPv3 notification process allows for the messages
passed to be authenticated and encrypted if you choose. To set up a SNMPv3
notification there are three steps:
1. Establish a Notification with the snmpv3 notify command
2. Point the notification to an Address with the snmpv3 targetaddress com-
mand.
3. Establish a parameter record for the target address with the snmpv3
params command.
Syntax: [no] snmpv3 notify <notify_name> tag <tag_name>
This adds or deletes a notification request. To remove
a mapping you only need the < notify_name >.
[no] snmpv3 targetaddress < name > params
< parms_name > < ip-addr >
Add or delete an address where notification messages
are sent. The < tag > value must match the tag value of
a notify entry.
filter < none | debug | all | not-info | critical>
This filters messages to restrict the types of messages
transmitted to an address. (Default: none)
udp-port < port >
This specifies the UDP port to use. (Default: 162)
port-mask < mask >
Used to specific a range of UDP ports. (Default: 0)
addr-mask < mask >
Used to specify a range of addresses as destinations for
notify messages. (Default: 0)
retries < value >
Number of times to retransmit a message when no
response is reviewed. (Default: 3) Range: 1-255.
