FTOS Configuration Guide for the C-Series - Force10 Networks

To configure an SNMP host to store traps, use these commands in the following sequence in the
CONFIGURATION mode:
Step Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
1 snmp-server host ip-address
[traps | informs] [version 1 | 2c |
3] [auth | no auth | priv]
[community-string] [udp-port
port-number] [notification-type]}
CONFIGURATION In ip-address, enter an IP address of the
device to store the SNMP traps. Configure
at least one of the following parameters:
• traps: (OPTIONAL) Enable all traps.
• informs: (OPTIONAL) Enter this
keyword to send inform notifications to
the specified host.
• version: (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword
followed by either 1 or 2c. If neither is
entered, the default is 1.
• auth: (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword to
specify authentication of a packet
without encryption.
• noauth: (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword
to specify no authentication of a packet.
• priv: (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword to
specify both authentication and then
scrambling of the packet.
• community-string: (OPTIONAL) Enter a
text string. You can also enter one of the
optional notification types (bgp,
envmon, snmp). Note: For version 1
and version 2c security models, this
string represents the name of the SNMP
community. While the string can be set
using this command, it is recommended
that you set the community string using
the snmp-server community command
before executing this command. For the
version 3 security model, this string is
the USM user security name.
• udp-port: (OPTIONAL) Enter the
keyword followed by the port number of
the remote host to use. Range: 0 to
65535. Default: 162
• notification-type: (OPTIONAL) Enter one
of the following keywords as the type of
trap to be sent to the host:
•bgp - allow BGP state change traps
•envmon - allow environment monitor
traps
•snmp - allow SNMP-type notification
(RFC 1157) traps
Default: All trap types are sent to host
