Jason,
The documentation on this is very confusing but here's the deal.
The "snmp-server enable traps" without specifying any individual traps is
used to enable pretty much all traps. If you don't want to enable all
traps, you can specify exactly which traps you want enabled with this
command.
Now, in the snmp-server host command, you can also specify (or not) traps.
If you don't specify any traps with this host command, then all the traps
enabled or specified with the snmp enable traps command will be sent to this
host. If you do specify traps with this command, the specified traps must
be a subset of the traps enable with the snmp enable trap command.
Here's where things can get a bit confusing.
Just because one or more traps is enabled (with the snmp enable traps
command) doesn't mean those traps will be sent out. It depends on what you
specify in the snmp host command.
This gives you lots of flexibility because you might have more than 1 snmp
mgmt station. And, you may want to send some traps to 1 mgmt station and
other traps to other mgmt stations.
HTH, Tim

Several of the IE examples have configurations to setup SNMP traps to a
specific server. In some, there is the command "snmp-server enable
traps' and some there are not.
Question: When only asked to configure a router to send traps to a
specific server, should I use the command 'snmp-server enable traps' to
enable traps globally or just use the snmp-server host command?
2nd Question: When asked to send specific traps to a server,
example=hsrp, is it required to use the snmp-server enable traps hsrp
command as well as snmp-server host x.x.x.x STRING hsrp
Thanks,
Jason
