Configuring Snmp Groups And Users - Cisco Catalyst 4500 series Administration Manual

Chapter 63 Configuring SNMP
You cannot use the snmp-server enable informs command. To enable the sending of SNMP inform
Note
notifications, use the snmp-server enable traps command combined with the snmp-server host
host-addr informs command.
This example shows how to assign the string comaccess to SNMP, to allow read-only access, and to
specify that IP access list 4 can use the community string to gain access to the switch SNMP agent:
Switch(config)# snmp-server community comaccess ro 4

Configuring SNMP Groups and Users

You can specify an identification name (engine ID) for the local or remote SNMP server engine on the
switch. You can configure an SNMP server group that maps SNMP users to SNMP views, and you can
add new users to the SNMP group.
To configure SNMP on the switch, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# snmp-server engineID
{
local engineid-string
[
ip-address udp-port port-number
engineid-string}
OL-28731-01
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures a name for either the local or remote copy of SNMP.
|
remote
The engineid-string is a 24-character ID string with the name of
•
]
the copy of SNMP. You need not specify the entire 24-character
engine ID if it has trailing zeros. Specify only the portion of the
engine ID up to the point where only zeros remain in the value.
For example, to configure an engine ID of
123400000000000000000000, you can enter this:
snmp-server engineID local 1234
If you select remote, specify the ip-address of the device that
•
contains the remote copy of SNMP and the optional UDP port on
the remote device. The default is 162.
