Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
SNMP Notification and Traps
The switches covered in this guide support the SNMPv3 notification process.
They also support version 1or version 2c traps. For more information on
version 1 or version 2c traps, see “Trap Features” on page 12-20. The SNMPv3
notification process allows for the messages passed to be authenticated and
encrypted if you choose. To set up a SNMPv3 notification there are three steps:
1. Establish a Notification with the snmpv3 notify command.
2. Point the notification to a Address with the snmpv3 targetaddress com-
mand.
3. Establish a parameter record for the target address with the snmpv3
params command.
Syntax: [no] snmpv3 notify < notify-name > [ tagvalue < tag-name > ]
This adds or deletes a notification request. To remove
a mapping you only need the
notify-name.
[no] snmpv3 targetaddress < addr-name > params < parms-name>
< IP-Addr >
Add or delete an address where notification messages
are sent.

port-mask < mask >
Used to specific a range of UDP ports. ( Default: 0)
addr-mask < mask >
