configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
snmp-server host host-addr {traps | informs} {version {1

Specify traps (the default) to send SNMP traps
to the host. Specify informs to send SNMP
informs to the host.

Specify the SNMP version to support. Version 1,
the default, is not available with informs.
•
For community-string, specify the string to send
with the notification operation. Though you can
set this string by using the snmp-server host

string by using the snmp-server community
command before using the snmp-server host
command.

each set of traps that are generated to the NMS.
The range is 0 to 2147483647 seconds; the
default is 1 second.
•
(Optional) For history-size value, specify the
maximum number of entries in the MAC
notification history table. The range is 0 to 500;
the default is 1.
Step 6
interface interface-id
Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the
Layer 2 interface on which to enable the SNMP
MAC address notification trap.
Step 7
snmp trap mac-notification {added | removed}
