Reference Guide

When multiple snmp-server host commands are given for the same host and type of
notification (trap or inform), each succeeding command overwrites the previous command.
Only the last snmp-server host command will be in effect. For example, if you enter an
snmp-server host inform command for a host and then enter another snmp-
server host inform command for the same host, the second command replaces the
first command.
The snmp-server host command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server
enable command. Use the snmp-server enable command to specify which SNMP
notifications are sent globally. For a host to receive most notifications, at least one snmp-
server enable
command and the snmp-server host command for that host must be
enabled.
NOTE: For v1 / v2c trap configuration, if the community-string is not defined using the
snmp-server community command prior to using this command, the default form of
the snmp-server community command automatically is configured with the
community-name the same as specified in the
snmp-server host command.
Configuring Informs
To send an inform, use the following steps:
1. Configure a remote engine ID.
2. Configure a remote user.
3. Configure a group for this user with access rights.
4. Enable traps.
5. Configure a host to receive informs.
