applying a template to 3560cx; 9200cx adds a bunch of snmp en traps

[josephbdelossantos]

applying a template to 3560cx (15.2.7.E6) and 9200cx (17.9.4a) automatically adds a bunch of enable traps that I did not configure in the template, other platform models do not have this issue c9300 and 3850s

Do I need to upgrade to a different code version for this to stop getting added automatically?

thanks

Once the device is discovered by Catalyst Center and Telemetry is enabled for the device, Catalyst Center will add a number of enable trap commands in the device configuration.

This is the expected behaviour - it's one of the ways Catalyst Center collects assurance data from devices.

Hope this helps.

telemetry and device controllability is turned off on our network

Catalyst Center shouldn't be adding specific snmp traps. By default, Catalyst Center pushes "snmp-server enable traps" and enables all traps on the device. This helps to avoid attempting to configure traps by PID and the device not accepting the trap command, which then causing the operation to fail.

this is weird. other devices did not get pushed this additional config and they are running the same platform 9200, same IOS.. same template

Without further details, my guess would be that a telemetry push was also done during the provision task. You can check this by going to Provision → Inventory, then changing the focus to Provision. Then for the device in question, check the status under the provision column to see what jobs where done.
