Chapter 1 Configuring SNMP Monitoring
Enabling SNMP Traps
Step 3 Check the appropriate check boxes to enable SNMP traps.
Step 4 Click Submit.
A “Click Submit to Save” message appears in red next to the current settings when there are pending
changes to be saved after you have applied default or device group settings. You can also revert to the
previously configured window settings by clicking Reset. The Reset button is visible only when you
apply default or device group settings to change the current device settings but the settings have not yet
been submitted.
To enable SNMP traps from the CLI, you can use the snmp-server enable traps global configuration
command.
To control access to the SNMP agent by an external SNMP server, use the snmp-server access-list
global configuration command to apply an SNMP ACL.
Note If you are using an SNMP server ACL, you must permit the loopback interface.
WAE Alarm Enables WAE alarm traps:
• Raise Critical—Enables raise-critical alarm trap
• Clear Critical—Enables clear-critical alarm trap
• Raise Major—Enables raise-major alarm trap
• Clear Major—Enables clear-major alarm trap
• Raise Minor—Enables raise-minor alarm trap
• Clear Minor—Enables clear-minor alarm trap
Entity Enables SNMP entity traps.
Event Enables the Event MIB.
Config Enables CiscoConfigManEvent error traps.
Miscellaneous Settings
MIB Persistent Event Enables persistence for the SNMP Event MIB. (This check box is not
shown when the selected device is a Central Manager.)
Notify Inform Enables the SNMP notify inform request. Inform requests are more
reliable than traps but consume more resources in the router and in the
network.
Traps are unreliable because the receiver does not send any
acknowledgment when it receives a trap. The sender cannot determine if
the trap was received. However, an SNMP manager that receives an inform
request acknowledges the message with an SNMP response. If the sender
never receives a response, the inform request can be sent again. Thus,
informs are more likely to reach their intended destinations.
