Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
To enable or disable notification/traps for network security failures and other
security events, enter the snmp-server enable traps command.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server enable traps [snmp-auth | password-change-mgr | login-
failure-mgr | port-security | auth-server-fail | link-change]
Enables or disables sending one of the security notification
types listed below to configured trap receivers. (Unless
otherwise stated, all of the following notifications are
enabled in the default configuration.
auth-server-fail sends a trap if the connection with a RADIUS or
TACACS+ authentication server fails.
link-change < port-list > sends a trap when the link state on a port
changes from up to down, or the reverse.
login-failure-mgr sends a trap for a failed login with a manager
password.
password-change-mgr sends a trap when a manager password is
reset.
port-security sends a trap for a failed authentication attempt through
a web, MAC, or 801.X authentication session.
snmp-authentication [ extended | standard ] sends a trap for a failed
authentication attempt via SNMP. Default: extended.
To determine the specific cause of a security event, check the event log in the
console interface to see why a trap was sent. For more information, refer to
“Using the Event Log for Troubleshooting Switch Problems” on page C-22.
To display the current configuration for network security notifications, enter
the show snmp-server traps command. Note that command output is a subset
of the information displayed with the show snmp-server command in Figure 13-
13.
