Enable or Disable Trap Generation on an Interface

This task describes how to enable or disable trap generation either on the physical interface or on the port-channel interface.

1. Connect to SEFOS.

   See Connect to SEFOS.

2. Disable the SNMP trap on the interface xl-ethernet 0/1.
   1. Enter Global Configuration mode.

      SEFOS-1# configure terminal
      

   2. Enter Interface Configuration mode for xl-ethernet 0/1.

      SEFOS-1(config)# interface xl-ethernet 0/1
      

   3. Type one of the following commands:

      SEFOS-1(config-if)# snmp trap link-status
      

      SEFOS-1(config-if)# no snmp trap link-status
      

   4. Exit Interface Configuration mode.

      SEFOS-1(config-if)# end
      

3. View the trap state for the interface xl-ethernet 0/1.

   SEFOS-1# show interface xl-ethernet 0/1
   ...
   Link Up/Down Trap is enabled
   ...
   

   or,

   SEFOS-1# show interface xl-ethernet 0/1
   ...
   Link Up/Down Trap is disabled
   ...
   

   If the trap is enabled, the switch sends trap messages to the SNMP manager on specific events such as link up, link down, and so on.
