Command Usage

• If you do not enter an snmp-server enable traps command, no notifications controlled by this

command are sent. In order to configure this device to send SNMP notifications, you must

enter at least one snmp-server enable traps command. If you enter the command with no

keywords, both authentication and link-up-down notifications are enabled. If you enter the

command with a keyword, only the 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.

• The authentication, link-up, and link-down traps are legacy notifications, and therefore when

used for 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.

Example

Console(config)#snmp-server enable traps link-up-down
