Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
To enable or disable notification/traps for network security failures and other
security events, enter the snmp-server enable traps command.
To determine the specific cause of a security event, check the event log in the
console interface to see why a trap was sent. For more information, refer to
“Using the Event Log for Troubleshooting Switch Problems” on page C-24.
To display the current configuration for network security notifications, enter
the show snmp-server traps command. Note that command output is a subset
of the information displayed with the show snmp-server command in Figure 13-
12.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server enable traps [snmp-auth | password-change-mgr | login-

security notification to configured trap receivers:
• snmp-auth sends a trap for a failed authentication attempt via SNMP.
