Configuring an SNMP trap receiver
Syntax
snmp-server host [ ipv4-addr | ipv6-addr ] community name
Configures a destination network management station to receive SNMPv1/v2c traps and (optionally)
Event Log messages sent as traps from the switch, using the specified community name and
destination IPv4 or IPv6 address. You can specify up to ten trap receivers (network management
stations.) (The default community name is public.)
Optional: Configures the security level of the Event Log messages you want
to send as traps to a trap receiver.
[ none | all | not-info |
critical | debug ]
• The type of Event Log message that you specify applies only to Event
Log messages, not to threshold traps.
• For each configured event level, the switch continues to send threshold
traps to all network management stations that have the appropriate
threshold level configured.
• If you do not specify an event level, the switch uses the default value
(none) and sends no Event Log messages as traps.
Optional: Configures the switch to send SNMPv2 inform requests when
certain events occur.
