Using Simple Network Management Protocol
© Copyright Lenovo 2017
Enterprise NOS provides Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version
1, version 2, and version 3 support for access through any network management
software, such as IBM Director.
To access the SNMP agent on the CN4093, the read and write community strings
on the SNMP manager should be configured to match those on the switch.
The read and write community strings on the switch can be changed using the
following commands:
CN 4093(config)# snmp-server read-community <1‐32 characters>
CN 4093(config)# snmp-server write-community <1‐32 characters>
The SNMP manager should be able to reach any one of the IP interfaces on the
switch.
For the SNMP manager to receive the SNMPv1 traps sent out by the SNMP agent
on the switch, configure the trap host on the switch with the following commands:
CN 4093(config)# snmp-server trap-source <trap source IP interface>
CN 4093(config)# snmp-server host <IPv4 address> <trap host community string>
For more information on SNMP usage and configuration, see "Simple Network
Management Protocol" on page
