Enabling SNMP Trap Logging

Use SNMP trap logging to send a copy of all traps to the syslog server.

Before you begin

You must configure and enable the syslog server.

About this task

Note

The platform logs CLILOG and SNMPLOG as INFO. Normally, if you configure the logging level to WARNING, the system skips all INFO messages. However, if you enable CLILOG and SNMPLOG the system logs CLI Log and SNMP Log information regardless of the logging level you set. This is not the case for other INFO messages.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Enable SNMP trap logging:

snmplog enable
Optional: Disable SNMP trap logging:

no snmplog enable
View the contents of the SNMP log:

show logging file module snmplog
