HAPTER 7: SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (SNMP)
Configuring SNMP Notifications
Notifications indicate that a system event occurred, such as a physical fault
that affects the chassis, and system faults that may impact the operation of
the management module or any of the application modules. For information
about SNMP hosts, refer to section “Adding an SNMP Host” on page 156.
Notifications are sent to an SNMP host. Configuring event notification
involves defining which SNMP host receives the notifications and how the
notifications are sent to the SNMP host.
Notifications may be sent as traps or informs. Traps are notifications that are
not acknowledged by the SNMP manager, so they are considered unreliable.
In addition, traps are not held in memory. Informs are notifications that are
acknowledged by the SNMP manager, so they are considered reliable. If an
inform is sent and not acknowledged, it may be sent again. Informs are held
in memory, which means they consume more router and network resources.
You can view, add, modify, or delete SNMP notifications. Follow these
procedures to configure SNMP notifications.
