3. Specify the target host that will receive inform messages with the
snmp-server host command as described in this section.
4. Create a view with the required notification messages (page 4-162).
5. Create a group that includes the required notify view (page 4-164).
To send an inform to a SNMPv3 host, complete these steps:
1. Enable the SNMP agent (page 4-152).
2. Allow the switch to send SNMP traps; i.e., notifications (page 4-159).
3. Specify the target host that will receive inform messages with the
snmp-server host command as described in this section.
4. Create a view with the required notification messages (page 4-162).
5. Create a group that includes the required notify view (page 4-164).
6. Specify a remote engine ID where the user resides (page 4-160).
7. Then configure a remote user (page 4-167).
• The switch can send SNMP version 1, 2c, or 3 notifications to a host IP
address, depending on the SNMP version that the management station
supports. If the snmp-server host command does not specify the
SNMP version, the default is to send SNMP version 1 notifications.
• If you specify an SNMP Version 3 host, then the community string is
interpreted as an SNMP user name. If you use the V3 “auth” or “priv”
options, the user name must first be defined with the snmp-server user
command. Otherwise, the authentication password and/or privacy
password will not exist, and the switch will not authorize SNMP access
for the host. However, if you specify a V3 host with the “noauth” option,
an SNMP user account will be generated, and the switch will authorize
SNMP access for the host.
