set snmp notify target
Configures a notification target for notifications from SNMP.
A notification target is a remote device to which WSS Software sends SNMP notifications. You can configure
the WSS Software SNMP engine to send confirmed notifications (informs) or unconfirmed notifications
(traps). Some of the command options differ depending on the SNMP version and the type of notification you
specify. You can configure up to 10 notification targets.
SNMPv3 with Informs
To configure a notification target for informs from SNMPv3, use the following command:
Syntax set snmp notify target target-num ip-addr[:udp-port-number]
usm inform user username
snmp-engine-id {ip | hex hex-string}
[profile profile-name]
[security {unsecured | authenticated | encrypted}]
[retries num]
[timeout num]
target-num ID for the target. This ID is local to the WSS and does
not need to correspond to a value on the target itself.
You can specify a number from 1 to 10.
ip-addr[:udp-port-number] IP address of the server. You also can specify the UDP
port number to send notifications to.
username USM username. This option is applicable only when
the SNMP version is usm.
If the user will send informs rather than traps, you also
must specify the snmp-engine-id of the target.
snmp-engine-id
{ip | hex hex-string}
SNMP engine ID of the target. Specify ip if the
target’s SNMP engine ID is based on its IP address. If
the target’s SNMP engine ID is a hexadecimal value,
use hex hex-string to specify the value.
profile profile-name Notification profile this SNMP user will use to specify
the notification types to send or drop.
security {unsecured | authenticated |
encrypted}
Specifies the security level, and is applicable only
when the SNMP version is usm:
• unsecured—Message exchanges are not
authenticated, nor are they encrypted.
This is the default.
• authenticated—Message exchanges are
authenticated, but are not encrypted.
• encrypted—Message exchanges are
authenticated and encrypted.
