Configuring SNMP Notification Receivers with VRFs

SNMP adds entries into the cExtSnmpTargetVrfTable of the CISCO-SNMP-TARGET-EXT-MIB when you
configure the VRF reachability and filtering options for an SNMP notification receiver.
Note You must configure the host before configuring the VRF reachability or filtering options.
You can configure Cisco NX-OS to use a configured VRF to reach the host receiver or to filter notifications
based on the VRF in which the notification occurred.
