snmp-server host

Syntax

snmp-server host [ipv4–addr|ipv6–addr] <community name>
      

Description

Configures a destination network management station to receive SNMPv1/v2c traps and (optionally) Event Log messages sent as traps from the switch, using the specified community name and destination IPv4 or IPv6 address. You can specify up to ten trap receivers (network management stations.) <COMMUNITY NAME> defaults to public.

Parameters and options

Event log messages

Optional: Configures the security level of the Event Log messages you want to send as traps to a trap receiver.

  • The type of Event Log message that you specify applies only to Event Log messages, not to threshold traps.

  • For each configured event level, the switch continues to send threshold traps to all network management stations that have the appropriate threshold level configured.

  • If you do not specify an event level, the switch uses the default value (none) and sends no Event Log messages as traps.

none

Sends no Event Log messages.

all

Sends all Event Log messages.

not info

Sends all Event Log messages that are not for information only.

critical

Sends only Event Log messages for critical error conditions.

debug

Sends only Event Log messages needed to troubleshoot network- and switch-level problems.

[inform]

Optional: Configures the switch to send SNMPv2 inform requests when certain events occur.

Configure a trap receiver

To configure a trap receiver in a community named "red-team" with an IP address of 10.28.227.130 to receive only "critical" event log messages, you can enter the following command:

switch# snmp-server host 10.28.227.130 red-team critical
