Contributors

POST /support/snmp/traphosts

Introduced In: 9.7

Creates SNMP traphosts. While adding an SNMPv3 traphost, an SNMPv3 user configured in ONTAP must be specified. ONTAP uses this user's credentials to authenticate and/or encrypt traps sent to this SNMPv3 traphost. While adding an SNMPv1/SNMPv2c traphost, SNMPv1/SNMPv2c user or community need not be specified.

Required properties

  • host - Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), IPv4 address or IPv6 address of SNMP traphost.

  • If host refers to an SNMPv3 traphost, the following field is required:

    • user - SNMPv3 or User-based Security Model (USM) user.

  • For an SNMPv1/SNMPv2c traphost, ONTAP automatically uses 'public' if 'public' is configured or no community is configured. Otherwise, ONTAP uses the first configured community.

  • system snmp traphost add
