Catalyst 2975 Switch Software Configuration Guide

OL-19720-02

Chapter 7      Administering the Switch

Managing the MAC Address Table

Configuring MAC Address Move Notification Traps

When you configure MAC-move notification, an SNMP notification is generated and sent to the network 
management system whenever a MAC address moves from one port to another within the same VLAN. 

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to send MAC 
address-move notification traps to an NMS host:

To disable MAC address-move notification traps, use the 

no snmp-server enable traps

 

mac-notification move 

global configuration command. To disable the MAC address-move notification 

feature, use the 

no mac address-table notification mac-move 

global configuration command.

This example shows how to specify 172.20.10.10 as the NMS, enable the switch to send MAC address 
move notification traps to the NMS, enable the MAC address move notification feature, and enable traps 
when a MAC address moves from one port to another.

Switch(config)# 

snmp-server host 172.20.10.10 traps private mac-notification

Switch(config)#

 snmp-server enable traps mac-notification move

Switch(config)# 

mac address-table notification mac-move 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

snmp-server host 

host-addr

 {

traps

 | 

informs

} {

version

 {

1

 

| 

2c 

| 

3

}} 

community-string notification-type

Specify the recipient of the trap message.

  •

For 

host-addr

, specify the name or address of the 

NMS.

  •

Specify 

traps

 (the default) to send SNMP traps 

to the host. Specify 

informs

 to send SNMP 

informs to the host.

  •

Specify the SNMP version to support. Version 1, 
the default, is not available with informs.

  •

For 

community-string,

 specify the string to send 

with the notification operation. Though you can 
set this string by using the 

snmp-server host 

command, we recommend that you define this 
string by using the 

snmp-server community

 

command before using the 

snmp-server host

 

command.

  •

For 

notification-type

, use the 

mac-notification

 

keyword.

Step 3

snmp-server enable traps mac-notification move

Enable the switch to send MAC address move 
notification traps to the NMS.

Step 4

mac address-table notification mac-move

Enable the MAC address move notification feature. 

Step 5

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

show mac address-table notification mac-move

show running-config

Verify your entries.

Step 7

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration 
file.
