Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
Configuring Trap Receivers. This command specifies trap receivers by
community membership, management station IP address, and the type of
Event Log messages to send to the trap receiver.
Note If you specify a community name that does not exist—that is, has not yet been
configured on the switch—the switch still accepts the trap receiver assign-
ment. However, no traps will be sent to that trap receiver until the community
to which it belongs has been configured on the switch.
Syntax: snmp-server host < community-string > < ip-address >
Using community name and destination IP address,
this command designates a destination network-man-
agement station for receiving SNMP event log messages
from the switch. If you do not specify the event level,
then the switch does not send event log messages as
traps. You can specify up to 10 trap receivers (network
management stations).
Note: In all cases, the switch sends any threshold
trap(s) to the network management station(s) that
explicitly set the threshold(s).
[<none | all | non-info | critical | debug>]
