SNMP inform recipient
The SNMP inform notification is similar to the SNMP trap except that the management station that
receives an SNMP inform acknowledges the system message with an SNMP response packet data
unit (PDU). If the sender does not receive the SNMP response PDU, the inform request can be sent
again. An SNMP inform request is saved in the switch memory until a response is received or the
request times out. The informs are more reliable than the traps, but they consume more resources
in the device and in the network. Use SNMP informs only if it is important that the management
station receives all event notifications. Otherwise, use the SNMP traps.
Configuring the SNMPv3 inform recipient
To configure a SNMPv3 host to receive the SNMP informs, perform the following steps.
1. Log in to the switch as admin.
2. Enter the snmpConfig
--set snmpv3 command to configure the inform recipient. When
prompted to enable the SNMP informs, enter true or t. SNMP Informs are disabled by default.
switch:admin> snmpconfig --set snmpv3
SNMP Informs Enabled (true, t, false, f): [false] t
SNMPv3 user configuration(snmp user not configured in FOS user database will
