By default, the Dell Networking system displays some unsolicited SNMP messages (traps) upon certain events and conditions.
You can also congure the system to send the traps to a management station. Traps cannot be saved on the system.
Dell Networking OS supports the following three sets of traps:
• RFC 1157-dened traps — coldStart, warmStart, linkDown, linkUp, authenticationFailure, and egpNeighbborLoss.
• Dell Networking enterpriseSpecic environment traps — fan, supply, and temperature.
• Dell Networking enterpriseSpecic protocol traps — bgp, ecfm, stp, and xstp.
To congure the system to send SNMP notications, use the following commands.
1 Congure the Dell Networking system to send notications to an SNMP server.
