[EX] Example Configuration - Sending SMPv3 traps to SNMP server

Step 1 - Switch Configuration

Configure a user name.
Set the security level and the authentication Keys for this user.
Security level (Choose according to the switch configuration):

Auth, Priv
No Auth, No Priv
Auth, No Priv

Choose the type of SecurityPossible completions:
- authentication-md5 Configure MD5 authentication
- authentication-none Set no authentication for the user
- authentication-sha Configure SHA authentication
- privacy-3des Configure Triple DES privacy
- privacy-aes128 Configure AES128 privacy
- privacy-des Configure DES privacy
- privacy-none Set no privacy for the use

set snmp v3 usm local-engine user AuthPrivSHAUser authentication-sha authentication-key <plain text password>

set snmp v3 usm local-engine user AuthPrivSHAUser privacy-aes128 privacy-key <plain text password>

Set Security Model for the Security model context for group assignment.

security-to-group    Assigns security names to group
usm    User-based security model
v1                 SNMPv1 model
v2c                   SNMPv2c model

Set the privacy level:

notify-view          View used to notifications
read-view            View used for read access
write-view           View used for write access

set snmp v3 vacm security-to-group security-model usm security-name AuthPrivSHAUser group test
set snmp v3 vacm access group test default-context-prefix security-model usm security-level privacy read-view view-all
set snmp v3 vacm access group test default-context-prefix security-model usm security-level privacy notify-view view-all

Set the Target IP Address. It is the IP address of SNMP Server.
Configure the target parameters.

security-level      Security-level used when generating SNMP notifications
security-model       Security-model used when generating SNMP notifications
security-name        Security name used when generating SNMP notifications

set snmp v3 target-address TARGET address 10.9.221.199 <-- SNMP Server Address
set snmp v3 target-address TARGET port 162
set snmp v3 target-address TARGET target-parameters target1
set snmp v3 target-parameters target1 parameters message-processing-model v3
set snmp v3 target-parameters target1 parameters security-model usm
set snmp v3 target-parameters target1 parameters security-level privacy
set snmp v3 target-parameters target1 parameters security-name AuthPrivSHAUser

Configure Notify type (Trap/Tag)

set snmp v3 notify NOTIFY type trap
set snmp v3 notify NOTIFY tag trapreceiver
set snmp v3 notify-filter filter oid .1 include
set snmp view view-all oid .1 include

Set the Source Address as the device IP

set snmp trap-options source-address <Ip Address>

<oid-name> OID to include/exclude from notify filter
.1 OID to include/exclude from notify filter

Step 2 - Configure the server for receiving traps

(example of Manage Engine)

If an Interface is flapped on the switch, the traps will look similar to the ones in the following image:

The details of the messages can be seen by clicking on the “Show Details” button. The details will appear similar to the following image:
