Configuration Notes
This section describes SNMP configuration caveats.
General
7950 SR OS System Management Guide
•
To avoid management systems attempting to manage a partially booted system,
SNMP will remain in a shut down state if the configuration file fails to complete
during system startup. While shutdown, SNMP gets and sets are not processed.
However, notifications are issued if an SNMP trap group has been configured.
In order to enable SNMP, the portions of the configuration that failed to load must be
initialized properly. Start SNMP with the config>system>snmp>no shutdown CLI
command.
•
Use caution when changing the SNMP engine ID. If the SNMP engine ID is changed
in the config>system>snmp> engineID engine-id context, the current configuration
must be saved and a reboot must be executed. If not, the previously configured SNMP
communities and logger trap-target notify communities will not be valid for the new
engine ID.
