◆
The switch can send SNMP Version 1, 2c or 3 notifications to a host IP
address, depending on the SNMP version that the management station
supports. If the snmp-server host command does not specify the
SNMP version, the default is to send SNMP version 1 notifications.
◆
If you specify an SNMP Version 3 host, then the community string is
interpreted as an SNMP user name. The user name must first be
defined with the snmp-server user command. Otherwise, an SNMPv3
group will be automatically created by the snmp-server host
command using the name of the specified community string, and
default settings for the read, write, and notify view.
