The Notification Recipients SNMPv1/v2 page and the Notification Recipients SNMPv3 page
enable configuring the destination to which SNMP notifications are sent, and the types of SNMP
notifications that are sent to each destination (traps or informs). The Add/Edit pop-ups enable
configuring the attributes of the notifications.
An SNMP notification is a message sent from the device to the SNMP management station
indicating that a certain event has occurred, such as a link up/ down.
It is also possible to filter certain notifications. This can be done by creating a filter in the
Notification Filter page and attaching it to an SNMP notification recipient. The notification filter
enables filtering the type of SNMP notifications that are sent to the management station based
on the OID of the notification that is about to be sent.
To define a recipient in SNMPv1/v2:
1.
Click
Configuration > System Management >SNMP > Notification Recipients
.
This page displays the currently-defined SNMP recipients.
2.
Enter the parameters.

server name.

o
Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single network
link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and can be
used for communication only on the local network. Only one link local
address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this
entry replaces the address in the configuration.
o
Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and
reachable from other networks.
o
Interface—If the IPv6 address type is Link Local, select whether it is
received through a VLAN or ISATAP.
