Configuring SNMP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to send traps to a host:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
snmp-server host host-addr {informs | traps } {version {1
| 2c}} community-string notification-type
Step 3
snmp-server enable traps notification-types
Step 4
end
Step 5
show running-config
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the no snmp-server host host global
configuration command. To disable a specific trap type, use the no snmp-server enable traps
notification-types global configuration command.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the recipient of the trap message.
For host-addr, specify the name or address of the
•
host (the targeted recipient).
Specify traps (the default) to send SNMP traps
•
to the host. Specify informs to send SNMP
informs to the host.
•
Specify the SNMP version to support. Version 1,
the default, is not available with informs.
Note
Though visible in the command-line help
string, the version 3 keyword (SNMPv3) is
not supported.
•
For community-string, specify the string to send
with the notification operation. Though you can
set this string using the snmp-server host
command, we recommend that you define this
string by using the snmp-server community
command before using the snmp-server host
command.
For notification-type, use the keywords listed in
•
Table 22-3 on page
22-7.
Enable the switch to send specific traps. For a list of
traps, see
Table 22-3 on page
To enable multiple types of traps, you must issue a
separate snmp-server enable traps command for
each trap type.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration
file.
