Chapter 14 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP Notifications
A trap manager is a management station that receives and processes traps. Traps are system alerts that
the switch generates when certain events occur. By default, no trap manager is defined, and no traps are
sent. Switches can have an unlimited number of trap managers.
Note Many commands use the word traps in the command syntax. Unless there is an option in the command
to select either traps or informs, the keyword traps refers to traps, informs, or both. Use the snmp-server
host global configuration command to specify whether to send SNMP notifications as traps or informs.
Table 14-4 describes the supported switch traps (notification types). You can enable any or all of these
traps and configure a trap manager to receive them.
