General Steps for Configuring SNMP Notifications
To configure SNMP notifications, follow these general steps:
1. Determine the versions of SNMP notifications that you want to use in your
network.
If you want to use SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps, you must also configure
a trap receiver. Refer to the following sections and follow the required
configuration procedures:
• “SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c Traps” on page 14-19
• “Configuring an SNMP Trap Receiver” on page 14-19
• “Enabling SNMPv2c Informs” on page 14-21
If you want to use SNMPv3 notifications (including traps), you must also
configure an SNMPv3 management station. Follow the required configu-
ration procedure in the following section:
• “Configuring SNMPv3 Notifications” on page 14-23
2. To reconfigure any of the SNMP notifications that are enabled by default
to be sent to a management station (trap receiver), refer to these sections:
•
• “Enabling Link-Change Traps” on page 14-28
3. (Optional) Refer to the following sections to configure optional SNMP
notification features and verify the current configuration:
• “Configuring the Source IP Address for SNMP Notifications” on page
14-29
• “Displaying SNMP Notification Configuration” on page 14-31
