notification type related to that keyword is enabled.
◆ The snmp-server enable traps command is used in conjunction with the
snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify
which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to send notifications,
you must configure at least one snmp-server host command.

SNMP Version 3 hosts, they must be enabled in conjunction with the
corresponding entries in the Notify View assigned by the snmp-server group
command.
◆ For mac-notification, when there is a MAC-address-table change, it will be
stored in buffer first. If the interval time is set, any changes stored in the buffer
will be sent continuously until the buffer is empty. If after sending the buffer
