Subscribing to Managed Object Value Updates using
SNMP
By default, the Dell EMC Networking system displays some unsolicited SNMP messages (traps) upon certain events and
conditions.
You can also configure the system to send the traps to a management station. Traps cannot be saved on the system.
Dell EMC Networking OS supports the following three sets of traps:
● RFC 1157-defined traps — coldStart, warmStart, linkDown, linkUp, authenticationFailure, and egpNeighbborLoss.
● Dell EMC Networking enterpriseSpecific environment traps — fan, supply, and temperature.
● Dell EMC Networking enterpriseSpecific protocol traps — bgp, ecfm, stp, and xstp.
To configure the system to send SNMP notifications, use the following commands.
1. Configure the Dell EMC Networking system to send notifications to an SNMP server.
CONFIGURATION mode
snmp-server host ip-address [traps | informs] [version 1 | 2c |3] [community-string]
To send trap messages, enter the keyword traps.
