Configuring SNMP Traps

In SNMPv3, traps are created by configuring the notify, target address, and target parameters. The target address defines a management application's address and parameters to be used in sending notifications. Target parameters define the message processing and security parameters that are used in sending notifications to a particular management target. SNMPv3 also lets you define SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps.

NOTE: When you configure SNMP traps, make sure your configured access privileges allow the traps to be sent. Access privileges are configured at the [edit snmp v3 vacm access] and [edit snmp v3 vacm security-to-group] hierarchy levels.

To configure SNMP traps, include the following statements at the [edit snmp v3] hierarchy level:

[edit snmp v3] 

notify name {

    tag tag-name;

    type trap;

}

notify-filter name {

    oid object-identifier (include | exclude);

}            

target-address target-address-name {

    address address;

     address-mask address-mask;

    port <port-number>;

    tag-list [ tag-list ];

     target-parameters target-parameters-name;

}

target-parameters target-parameters-name {

    notify-filter profile-name;

    parameters {

        message-processing-model (v1 | v2c | v3);

        security-model (usm | v1 | v2c);

        security-level (authentication | none | privacy);

        security-name security-name;

    }

}
