Information
SNMP notifications can be sent as traps to authorized management systems.
Rationale:
SNMP has the ability to submit traps.
Solution
Enable SNMP traps.
hostname(config)#snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkup linkdown coldstart
Impact:
Organizations using SNMP should restrict trap types only to explicitly named traps to reduce unintended traffic. Enabling SNMP traps without specifying trap type will enable all SNMP trap types.
Default Value:
SNMP notifications are disabled.
