snmp-server host host-addr community-string
no snmp-server host host-addr
• host-addr - Name or Internet address of the host (the targeted
recipient). (Maximum host addresses: 5 trap destination ip address
entries)
• community-string - Password-like community string sent with the
notification operation. Though you can set this string using the
snmp-server host command by itself, we recommend you define
this string using the snmp-server community command prior
to using the snmp-server host command. (Maximum length: 32
characters)

Command Usage
If you do not enter an snmp-server host command, no notifications
are sent. In order to configure the switch to send SNMP notifications,
you must enter at least one snmp-server host command. In order
to enable multiple hosts, you must issue a separate snmp-server
host command for each host.
The snmp-server host command is used in conjunction with the
snmp-server enable traps command. Use the snmp-server
enable traps command to specify which SNMP notifications are sent
globally. For a host to receive notifications, at least one snmp-server
enable traps command and the snmp-server host command for
that host must be enabled.
However, some notification types cannot be controlled with the
snmp-server enable traps command. For example, some
notification types are always enabled.
