Switch Management Commands 2197
• filtername— A string that is the name of the RFC 2573 Section 6 filter
that defines the traps/informs sent to this host. If unspecified, all
traps/informs are sent (Range: 1-30 characters.) Use the snmp-server
filter command to define a filter.
Default Configuration
The default configuration is 3 retries, and 15 seconds timeout. No hosts are
configured by default. No notifications are sent by default.
If you enter this command with no keywords, the default is to send all trap
types to the host in SNMPv1 format. No informs are sent to the host. If no
version keyword is present, the default is Version 1.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
If a DNS host name is entered instead of an IP address, the switch attempts
to resolve the host name immediately using DNS. Use the ip domain-lookup
command and the ip name-server command to enable resolution of DNS
host names. Once resolved, the host name is not resolved again.
The hostname parameter may be a fully or partially qualified domain name. A
hostname consists of a series of labels separated by periods. Each label may be
a maximum of 63 characters in length. The maximum length of the
hostname parameter is 256 characters. Refer to RFC 1035 Section 2.3.1 for
more information.
