SNMP command discussion

[Robin Zhu]

Hi,

Can some one help to clarify the difference between

snmp-server source-interface traps loopback 0

and

snmp-server trap-souce loopback 0 ?

Thanks.

there is no difference, the first is just a replacement of the last.  (see here)

I could assume that they just wanted to use the same keywords in different commands.

"trap-source" is very specific to snmp where as source-interface can generally be used like in

    logging source-interface ...

    cdp source-interface ...

It certainly would make network management easier if we had consisted way to control what IP is used to send traps, SYSLOG and CDP messages.  I assume IOS 15 would have all that?

Cheers,

Michel
