Setting Up Snmp Community Strings - Cabletron Systems IA1100 Getting Started Manual

Setting Up SNMP Community Strings

To use SNMP to manage the IA 1100/1200, you need to set up an SNMP community on
the IA 1100/1200. Otherwise, the IA 1100/1200's SNMP agent runs in local trap process
mode until you disable it using the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be
able to access the SNMP traps issued by the IA 1100/1200's SNMP agent, you need to
specify the IP address of the target for the SNMP traps.
To add the SNMP community string and specify the target for traps, take the following
steps:
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the
CLI.
3. Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target for
the traps.
snmp set community
snmp set target
Note:
4. Enter the show command to examine the changes accumulated in the scratchpad.
5. Enter the save active command to activate the commands you entered in the previous
steps.
6. To verify the changes, enter the snmp show all command.

<IP-addr>
The target IP address must be locally attached to the IA 1100/1200. You
cannot specify a target that is connected to the IA 1100/1200 by another
router. If the IP address is more than one hop away from the IA 1100/1200,
configure the
IA 1100/1200 with a static route to the target so that a cold start trap is sent.
