Configuring Notification Targets

Use the following configuration statements to configure notification targets:

snmp notify target target-name {
address address;
port port;
community community;
type (trapv1|trapv2|inform);
}

To configure notification targets:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the notification target.
    [edit]
    user@host# edit snmp notify target target-name

    Specify the notification target name.

  2. Specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the system to receive notifications.
    [edit snmp notify target target-name]
    user@host# set address address
  3. (Optional) Specify the SNMP trap port number.
    [edit snmp notify target target-name]
    user@host# set port port
  4. Specify the community string used when sending traps.
    [edit snmp notify target target-name]
    user@host# set community community

    To specify the notification type as an SNMPv1 trap:

    user@host# set type trapv1

    To specify the notification type as an SNMPv2 trap:
