Enabling and Configuring SNMP Inform
You can use the snmp-server host inform command (SNMPv2c only) to send
inform requests when certain events occur. When an SNMP Manager receives
an inform request, it can send an SNMP response back to the sending agent.
This lets the agent know that the inform request reached its destination.
If the sending agent does not receive an SNMP response back from the SNMP
Manager within the timeout period, the inform request may be resent, based
on the retry count value.
You must specify an IP address that will receive the notifications and the
community name.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server host <ip-address> <community name> [<non | all | non-
info | critical | debug >] [[inform] [retries <count>] [timeout <interval>]]
Enables or disables the inform option for SNMP and allows
you to configure options for SNMP inform requests.
retries: Maximum number of times to resend an inform
request. Default: 3
timeout: Number of seconds to wait for an acknowledgement
before resending the inform request. Default: 15 seconds
Note The retries and timeout options are not used when using trap requests.
