Chapter 27 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP
The snmp-server host command specifies which hosts receive the notifications. The snmp-server
enable trap command globally enables the mechanism for the specified notification (for traps and
informs). To enable a host to receive an inform, you must configure an snmp-server host informs
command for the host and globally enable informs by using the snmp-server enable traps command.
To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the no snmp-server host host global
configuration command. The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not
informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs global configuration
command. To disable a specific trap type, use the no snmp-server enable traps notification-types global
configuration command.
