Chapter 30 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP
The
snmp-server host
command specifies which hosts receive the notifications. The
snmp-server
enable trap
command globally enables the mechanism for the specified notification (for traps and
informs). To enable a host to receive an inform, you must configure an
snmp-server host informs
command for the host and globally enable informs by using the
snmp-server enable traps
command.
To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the
no snmp-server host
host
global
configuration command. The
no snmp-server host
command with no keywords disables traps, but not
informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the
no snmp-server host informs
global configuration
command. To disable a specific trap type, use the
no snmp-server enable traps
notification-types
global
configuration command.
Setting the Agent Contact and Location Information
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the system contact and location of the
SNMP agent so that these descriptions can be accessed through the configuration file:
Step 6
snmp-server enable traps
notification-types
Enable the switch to send traps or informs and specify the type of
notifications to be sent. For a list of notification types, see
Table 30-5 on
page 30-11
, or enter
snmp-server enable traps ?
To enable multiple types of traps, you must enter a separate
snmp-server
enable traps
command for each trap type.
Note
When you configure a trap by using the notification type
port-security
, configure the port security trap first, and then
configure the port security trap rate:
•
snmp-server enable traps port-security
•
snmp-server enable traps port-security trap-rate
rate
Step 7
snmp-server trap-source
interface-id
(Optional) Specify the source interface, which provides the IP address for
the trap message. This command also sets the source IP address for
informs.
Step 8
snmp-server queue-length
length
(Optional) Establish the message queue length for each trap host. The
range is 1 to 1000; the default is 10.
Step 9
snmp-server trap-timeout
seconds
(Optional) Define how often to resend trap messages. The range is 1 to
1000; the default is 30 seconds.
Step 10
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 11
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 12
