Notification Configuration Commands
In order to send notifications to the management station, perform the following steps:
1. Enable the SNMP agent (if it is disabled).
2. Create a view, group and user that includes the notification variables with notify
access right
3. Create a tag that includes all required notifications. See Defining SNMP
Notification.
4. Create a target parameter that links a parameter name to the user. See Defining
the Notification Target Parameter.
5. Create a target address that links the parameter to a specific IP address. See
Defining the Notification Target Address.
Table 10-4 lists the configuration commands for the SNMPv3 Agent. By default, no
notifications will be sent by the switch.

The user configured to receive the notification must have notify access (in the view) to all
