Configuring SNMP
Some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server enable global configuration

ip-address engineid-string
Specify the engine ID for the remote host.
Step 3
snmp-server user username
groupname remote host [udp-port
port] {v1 | v2c | v3 [auth {md5 | sha}
auth-password]} [encrypted] [access
access-list]
Configure an SNMP user to be associated with the remote host created in
Step 2.
