1 SNMP Configuration
1.12 Configuring Authentication and Encryption Functions in SNMPv3
This section describes how to meet the higher requirement of the NM Station on the access
security through authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3.
1.13 Configuring MIB-View-based Access Control in SNMPv3
This section describes how to configure MIB-view-based access control in SNMPv3 to control
the NM Station to access the device.
1.14 Configuring SNMP Maintenance Information
This section describes how to maintain the device through SNMP maintenance information.
1.15 Configuring the Maximum Size of the SNMP Packet
This section describes how to increase the maximum size of an SNMP packet for the NM Station
to obtain the complete information about the switch status.
1.16 Configuring Batch Statistics Collection
The frequent access of the NM Station to a switch affects the switch performance. To solve this
problem, you can configure the performance batch collection function to periodically collect
data needed by the NM Station on the switch and then sends the data to the NM Station through
the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
1.17 Configuring the Trap Function
A trap is a type of message used to report an alert or important event about a managed device
to the NM Station. A managed device can actively send trap messages only after being configured
with the trap function.
1.18 Propagating Alarms in the Inform Mode
In Inform mode, alarm logs can be recorded. When the communications between the NM Station
and the switch fails, the switch can record the alarm log. After the fault is rectified, the NM
Station synchronizes the alarm with the alarm log on the switch to avoid loss of the failure
information.
1.19 Enabling the Extended Error Code Function on the SNMP Agent
This section describes how to enable the extended SNMP error code function. After this function
is enabled, packets sent from the device to the NMS carry extended error codes. The extended
SNMP error code function is allowed only on Huawei NMS.
1.20 Configuring the SET Response Message Caching Function
When the NMS frequently sends repeated SET packets to the device, the device performance
will be degraded. The SET response message caching function can reduce the impact on device
performance.
1.21 Configuring the Constant Interface Index Feature
When the interface index is used as the accounting reference, it is required that the interface
index be the same even if the interface is added or deleted, the system is restarted, and the
software or hardware configuration is changed. You can configure the constant interface index
feature to meet the preceding requirement.
1.22 Maintaining SNMP
When an SNMP operation fault occurs, you can run the debugging command in the user view
to locate the fault and analyze its cause.
1.23 Configuration Examples
This section provides several configuration examples of SNMP.
