Command Parameter Requirements
• FQDN or IP – This is a required parameter. The value is either the fully-qualified domain name
or IP address of the host to receive SNMP traps (also known as the trap sinks).
• user(v3 only) – This required parameter is an existing authorized SNMP user name.
• port – This is an optional parameter. It consists of the text, port, followed by the port number
of the host.
• trap-community – This optional parameter defines the community name (password string) for
the trap host. The parameter consists of the text, trap-community, followed by the password
string. The string is in quotation marks.
• events – This optional parameter filters what traps are transmitted to the defined trap host. The
parameter consists of text, events, followed by a filter level of alert or warning or info.
The SNMP agent transmits to the trap host all events which are at or higher in severity than
the defined event level. If this parameter is not included in the command sequence a default
value of info is used (all events are transmitted).
• authorization-algo(v3 only) – This optional parameter specifies the user authentication algorithm
used to authorize messages sent or received on behalf of this user (default is MD5).
• authentication-password(v3 only) – This optional parameter specifies the user authentication
password (default is no password set). Passwords must contain at least eight characters.
• privacy-algo(v3 only) – This optional parameter identifies the SNMP version 3 privacy algorithm
used to encrypt messages sent or received on behalf of this user (default is DES).
• privacy-password(v3 only) – This optional parameter specifies the privacy password for SNMP
version 3 and decryption (default is no password set). Passwords must contain at least eight
characters.
• contextname(v3 only) – This optional parameter specifies managed objects that can be accessed
by the agent. The parameter is required if the trap receiver has defined subsets of managed
objects.
