I'm not quite following the difference between SNMP Inform and SNMP Trap in the context of a CAT 2950. What is the difference?

Short answer:

SNMP trap simply sends a trap on an event to the host config'd to recieve.

SNMP inform sends an inform the the host config'd to recieve, which then sends back an ack with an SNMP response PDU. These are generally more reliable than traps, but are only supported with devices that support SNMP v2c.


Cat 2950 config docs where this is covered: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2950/software/release/12.1_22_ea2/configuration/guide/swsnmp.html
