Usage
Information
In order to configure the router to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least
one snmp-server host command. If you enter the command with no
keywords, all trap types are enabled for the host. If you do not enter an snmp-
server host
command, no notifications are sent.
In order to enable multiple hosts, you must issue a separate snmp-server host
command for each host. You can specify multiple notification types in the
command for each host.
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.
