About SNMP Notifications
Notifications are unsolicited messages that are generated by the SNMP agent that resides inside the SCE
platform when an event occurs. When the Network Management System receives the notification
message, it can take suitable actions, such as logging the occurrence or ignoring the signal.
By default, the SCE platform is not configured to send any SNMP notifications. You must define the
Network Management System to which the SCE platform should send notifications. (
See
the table below,
Configurable Notifications, for a list of configurable notifications). Whenever one of the events that
trigger notifications occurs in the SCE platform, an SNMP notification is sent from the SCE platform to
the list of IP addresses that you define.
