Configuring the Device to Output Traps to an SNMP Agent

Context

When an exception or a fault occurs on the device, the network administrator needs to learn the device running status. You can configure the device to output traps to an NMS server so that the network administrator can monitor the device in real time and locate faults immediately. Before configuring the device to output traps to an NMS server, configure the device to output traps to an SNMP agent. Then the SNMP agent sends traps to the NMS server.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run info-center snmp channel { channel-number | channel-name }
The channel used by the device to output traps to an SNMP agent is specified.

By default, the device uses channel 5 to output traps to an SNMP agent.
Run info-center source { module-name | default } channel { channel-number | channel-name } trap { state { off | on } | level severity } ^*
A rule for outputting traps to a channel is set.

By default, channel 5 is enabled to output traps and the lowest severity is debugging.
Run snmp-agent
The SNMP agent function is enabled.

By default, the SNMP agent function is disabled.

The SNMP agent can work properly and receive traps only when the SNMP agent function is enabled.

For details on how to configure the SNMP agent, see SNMP Configuration in the S2720, S5700, and S6700 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - Network Management and Monitoring.
