SNMP Target Host Commands
– 143 –
community-string
- Password-like community string sent with the
notification operation to SNMP V1 and V2c hosts. Although you can set this
string using the
snmp-server host
command by itself, we recommend
defining it with the
snmp-server community
command prior to using the
snmp-server host
command. (Maximum length: 32 characters)
version
- Specifies whether to send notifications as SNMP Version 1, 2c or 3
traps. (Range: 1, 2c, 3; Default: 1)
auth
|
noauth
|
priv
- This group uses SNMPv3 with authentication, no
authentication, or with authentication and privacy. See “Simple
Network Management Protocol” in the
System Reference Guide
for
further information about these authentication and encryption
options.
port
- Host UDP port to use. (Range: 1-65535; Default: 162)
Default Setting
Host Address: None
Notification Type: Traps
SNMP Version: 1
UDP Port: 162

Global Configuration
Command Usage
◆
If you do not enter an
snmp-server host
command, no notifications are sent. In
order to configure the switch to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at
least one
snmp-server host
command. In order to enable multiple hosts, you
must issue a separate
snmp-server host
command for each host.
◆
The
snmp-server host
command is used in conjunction with the
snmp-server
enable traps
command. Use the
snmp-server enable traps
command to enable
the sending of traps or informs and to specify which SNMP notifications are
sent globally. For a host to receive notifications, at least one
snmp-server
enable traps
command and the
snmp-server host
command for that host
must be enabled.
◆
Some notification types cannot be controlled with the
snmp-server
enable traps
command. For example, some notification types are always
enabled.
◆
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
acknowledgement 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.
