Configuring Snmp Groups And Users - Cisco Catalyst 2960 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring SNMP
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.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure SNMP on the switch:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 snmp-server engineID {local engineid-string
| remote ip-address [udp-port port-number]
engineid-string}

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure a name for either the local or remote copy of SNMP.
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 User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) port on the remote device. The
default is 162.
