Trap Receivers
You can also specify SNMP stations that are to receive traps from the
switch. To configure a trap receiver, use the “snmp-server host” command.
From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type:
“snmp-server host host-address community-string
[version {1 | 2c | 3 {auth | noauth | priv}}]”
where “host-address” is the IP address for the trap receiver,
“community-string” specifies access rights for a version 1/2c host, or is
the user name of a version 3 host, “version” indicates the SNMP client
version, and “auth | noauth | priv” means that authentication, no
authentication, or authentication and privacy is used for v3 clients.
Then press <Enter>. For a more detailed description of these parameters,
see “snmp-server host” on page 4-155. The following example creates a
trap host for each type of SNMP client.
Configuring Access for SNMP Version 3 Clients
To configure management access for SNMPv3 clients, you need to first
create a view that defines the portions of MIB that the client can read or
write, assign the view to a group, and then assign the user to a group. The
following example creates one view called “mib-2” that includes the entire
MIB-2 tree branch, and then another view that includes the IEEE 802.1d
bridge MIB. It assigns these respective read and read/write views to a
group call “r&d” and specifies group authentication via MD5 or SHA. In
