SNMP Informs Support

Do certain IOS platforms not support SNMP informs?  After fighting all day trying to get SNMP v3 informs working, I decided to switch to 2c to see if I could even get those to trigger.  v3 traps with priv are working fine, but nothing I do seems to enable informs to send. I noticed the 'show snmp' output does not mention informs being enabled, despite what I believe to be correct configuration.

 

Does anybody know?

 

 

 

snmp-server host 192.168.1.6 informs version 2c informstring tty disassociate config syslog cpu snmp

 - The feature  navigator , mentions IOS-XE platforms only see attachment :

  Not sure as to whether this is conclusive as to native IOS being capable or not. But there is no info about informs in your show snmp command which normally should be present. For your particular model use the latest or advisory software release and check again.

Thanks,

 

Usually when a feature isn't supported, the commands are removed from the CLI, but in this case, there's several informs-related commands available.

 Not always, sometimes to keep the IOS streamlined it's left to make it easy for the developers to have a uniform code base across platforms.

Thanks again.  This has been insightful, if disappointing!
