Specifying Trap Managers
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Trap) page to specify the host devices to be sent traps and the types of traps to send.
Traps indicating status changes are issued by the switch to the specified trap managers. You must specify trap managers so that
key events are reported by this switch to your management station (using network management software). You can specify up to
five management stations that will receive authentication failure messages and other trap messages from the switch.
Command Usage
Notifications are issued by the switch as trap messages by default. The recipient of a trap message does not send a response to the
switch. Traps are therefore not as reliable as inform messages, which include a request for acknowledgment 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. You should consider these
effects when deciding whether to issue notifications as traps or informs.
To send an inform to a SNMPv2c host, complete these steps:
1.
Enable the SNMP agent (page 207).
2.
Create a view with the required notification messages (page 209).
3.
Configure the group (matching the community string specified on the Configure Trap - Add page) to include the required
notify view (page 211).
4.
Enable trap informs as described in the following pages.
To send an inform to a SNMPv3 host, complete these steps:
1.
Enable the SNMP agent (page 208).
2.
Create a remote SNMPv3 user to use in the message exchange process (page 215). If the user specified in the trap
configuration page does not exist, an SNMPv3 group will be automatically created using the name of the specified remote
user, and default settings for the read, write, and notify view.
3.
Create a view with the required notification messages (page 209).
4.
Create a group that includes the required notify view (page 211).
5.
Enable trap informs as described in the following pages.
The following table lists the options on this page:
