Notification Recipients SNMPv1,2

The notification recipients enable configuring the destination to which SNMP notifications are sent, and the types of SNMP notifications that are sent to each destination (traps or informs). An SNMP notification is a message sent from the device to the SNMP management station indicating that a certain event has occurred, such as a link up/down.

To define a recipient in SNMPv1,2:

  • UDP Port—Enter the UDP port used for notifications on the recipient device.
