Re: Specifying SNMP Traps

Yasser,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm still a bit confused.

What's the difference between a "Notification" and a "Trap"?

Aren't they the different names for the same thing?

Also, does the type of trap have to be specified twice,

once in the snmp-server host command and

again, in the snmp-server enable trap command?

It's confusing because in the example below, both BGP and CONFIG were
specified twice,

but TTY was only specified once - in the snmp-server host command.

Why is TTY only specified once but BGP and CONFIG is specified twice?

It doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks in advance, Tim
