  3. Specify the name of the SNMP server for SNMP notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink sink_name
  4. Specify which servers will receive SNMP notifications (one server per command):

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink sink_name enable
  5. Specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address, or hostname of the SNMP server to receive the notifications:

    hostname (config) # fenotify snmp trap-sink sink_name address ipv4 address, ipv6 address, or hostname
