3.3.5 Creating or deleting trap receivers with Software release 3.7 or 4.1
With software release 3.7 or 4.1, you create trap receivers by creating SNMP-v3 trap notifications
and then specifying the target address where you wish to send the notifications along with
specific target parameters.
By default, the ERS8600 has a default trap notification of “trapTag”. You can use this default
notification when setting up the SNMP trap target address or if you wish, you can create a new
trap notification using the following command:
ERS-8606:5# config snmp-v3 notify ?
Sub-Context:
Current Context:
create <Notify Name> [tag <value>] [type <value>]
delete <Notify Name>
info
tag <Notify Name> new-tag <value>
type <Notify Name> new-type <value>
For example, to create a new trap notification named “Trap2” with a tag value of “Trap2”, please
enter the following command
ERS-8606:5# config snmp-v3 notify create Trap2 tag trapTag2 type trap
You can view the notification table by using the following command:
ERS-8606:5# show snmp-v3 notify info
