1.6.3 Configuring notifications

SNMP agent is designed to support SNMPv1 Traps, SNMPv2c Traps, or SNMPv3 Traps. To send TRAPs, it's nec-

essary perform some basic SNMP engine configuration as defined in the following sections.

Configuring notification is a process that requires four steps:

• Define a notification.

• Define a set of network addresses to which a notification should be sent.

• Define parameters to use when sending notifications to each of the target addressed identified in step2.

• Optionally, define notification filters to reduce the amount of traps sent to the target addresses.

The following sections describe each step of this process in more detail.

1.6.3.1 Defining notifications
