Configuring the Trap Notification Filter

SNMPv3 uses the notify filter to define which traps (or which objects from which traps) will be sent to the network management station (NMS). The trap notification filter limits the type of traps that are sent to the NMS.

Each object identifier represents a subtree of the MIB object hierarchy. The subtree can be represented either by a sequence of dotted integers (such as 1.3.6.1.2.1.2) or by its subtree name (such as interfaces).

To configure the trap notifications filter, include the notify-filter statement at the
[edit snmp v3] hierarchy level:

[edit snmp v3]

notify-filter profile-name;

profile-name is the name assigned to the notify filter.

By default, the OID is set to include. To define access to traps (or objects from traps), include the oid statement at the [edit snmp v3 notify-filter profile-name] hierarchy level:

[edit snmp v3 notify-filter profile-name]

oid oid (include | exclude);

oid is the object identifier. All MIB objects represented by this statement have the specified OID as a prefix. It can be specified either by a sequence of dotted integers or by a subtree name.

• include—Include the subtree of MIB objects represented by the specified OID.
• exclude—Exclude the subtree of MIB objects represented by the specified OID.
