Multiple SNMP server configured on a switch

RFC_2549
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

Is It possibile to configure more than one SNMP server on a switch? So, if I have a current configurazione like "snmp-server host 192.168.10.10 version ..." can I ads a second command like "snmp-server host 192.268.30.40" version ..."? This for using two SNMP servers at the same time

 

Thank You and kind regards

Hello @RFC_2549 

Yes, it is possible to configure more than one SNMP server on a switch by issuing multiple snmp-server host commands.

You will increased reliability and redundancy, ensuring that SNMP messages are received even if one server fails. However, a potential downside is the increased complexity in management and potential for configuration errors, as well as additional load on the network from sending duplicate SNMP traps to multiple server.
