Subscribing to Managed Object Value Updates using
SNMP
By default, the Dell Networking system displays some unsolicited SNMP messages (traps) upon certain events and conditions.
You can also congure the system to send the traps to a management station. Traps cannot be saved on the system.
Dell Networking OS supports the following three sets of traps:
• RFC 1157-dened traps — coldStart, warmStart, linkDown, linkUp, authenticationFailure, and egpNeighbborLoss.
• enterpriseSpecic environment traps — fan, supply, and temperature.
• enterpriseSpecic protocol traps — bgp, ecfm, stp, and xstp.
To congure the system to send SNMP notications, use the following commands.
1 Congure the Dell Networking system to send notications 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.
To send informational messages, enter the keyword informs.
To send the SNMP version to use for notication messages, enter the keyword version.
To identify the SNMPv1 community string, enter the name of the community-string.
2 Specify which traps the Dell Networking system sends to the trap receiver.
CONFIGURATION mode
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
