Global Configuration

Command Usage

• If you do not enter an snmp-server enable traps command, no

notifications controlled by this command are sent. In order to configure

this device to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one

snmp-server enable traps command. If you enter the command with

no keywords, both authentication and link-up-down notifications are

enabled. If you enter the command with a keyword, only the notification

type related to that keyword is enabled.

•The snmp-server enable traps command is used in conjunction with

the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command

to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP notifications. In order to

send notifications, you must configure at least one snmp-server host

command.

• The authentication, link-up, and link-down traps are legacy notifications,

and therefore when used for SNMP Version 3 hosts, they must be

enabled in conjunction with the corresponding entries in the Notify

View assigned by the snmp-server group command (page 4-164).
