Snmpconfig - Brocade Communications Systems 1606 Command Reference Manual

SnmpConfig

Manages the SNMP agent configuration.
Synopsis snmpConfig --show | --set | --default [snmpv1 | snmpv3 | accessControl | mibCapability |
systemGroup | seclevel]
Description Use this command to manage the configuration of the SNMP agent in the switch. The configuration
includes SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 configuration, access control list (ACL), MIB capability, system
group, and security level settings. The command supports set, reset to default, and display
operations.
In Fabric OS v6.3.0 and later, the SNMPv3 configuration supports sending inform requests as an
alternative to trap requests. Traps are unreliable because the receiver does not send any
acknowledgment when it receives a trap. The sender cannot determine if the trap was received.
However, an SNMP manager that receives an inform request acknowledges the message with an
SNMP response protocol data unit (PDU). If the manager does not receive an inform request, it
does not send a response. If the sender never receives a response, the inform request can be sent
again. Thus, informs are more likely to reach their intended destination.
All values successfully changed by this command take effect immediately and are persistent across
power cycles and reboots.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Informs are currently not supported for IPv6 addresses.

Displays the SNMP agent configuration data of the specified category.
Sets the SNMP agent configuration data of the specified category. This
operand displays the current settings and then prompts you to change the
values for each parameter.
Sets the SNMP agent configuration data for a specified item to the default
values. Generally, these default values may be available in the configuration
database. The command sets to factory defaults if the SNMP agent
configuration parameters are not available in the configuration database.
snmpv1 Selects SNMPv1-related configuration parameters. These parameters include
the community string, trap recipient IP address, and trap severity level
associated with each trap recipient IP address. When "0" is configured as a
trap port, traps can be received at the default port 162.
snmpv3 Selects SNMPv3-related configuration parameters. These parameters include
the user name, authentication protocol and password, the privacy protocol
and password, the SNMPv3 trap recipient's IP address, its associated user
index and trap severity level. When "0" is configured as a trap port, traps can
be received at the default port 162.
