SNMP traps on running configuration changes
You can send a specific SNMP trap for any configuration change made in the switch's running configuration file. The trap will be generated for changes made from any of these interfaces:
CLI
Menu
SNMP (remote SNMP set requests.)
The SNMP trap contains the following information.
Information |
Description |
|---|---|
Event ID |
An assigned number that identifies a specific running configuration change event. |
Method |
Method by which the change was made—CLI, Menu, or remote SNMP.For configuration changes triggered by internal events, the term "Internal-Event" is used as the source of the change. |
IP Address Type |
Indicates the source address type of the network agent that made a change. This is set to an address type of "unknown" when not applicable. |
IP address |
IP address of the remote system from which a user accessed the switch. If not applicable, this is an empty string and nothing is displayed, for example, if access is through a management console port. |
User Name |

The SNMP trap alerts any interested parties that someone has changed the switch's configuration and provides information about the source for that change. It does not specify what has been changed.
