Use to dynamically configure an SNMP server view. You must access the CLI at privilege
level 15 to view or use this command.
Example
host1(config)#snmp-server view view1 1.3.6.1 included non-volatile
Use the no version to remove the dynamically created view.
See snmp-server view.
Setting the server's contact person and location provides helpful identifiers for the SNMP
server. These identifiers are arbitrary and do not affect the server's function, but they are
useful to have.
Use these commands to configure the SNMP server's contact person and the server's
location.
The contact is the person who manages the server.
The location is the server's physical location.
Each of these parameters can be up to 64 characters.
Example
host1(config)#snmp-server contact Bob Smith
host1(config)#snmp-server location 3rdfloor
Use the no version of these commands to clear the contact or location identifier from
the SNMP configuration.
See snmp-server contact.
The SNMP server must support a PDU with an upper limit of 484 bytes or greater. There
is no need to coordinate the maximum packet size across the entire network. Many
requests and responses tend to be smaller than the maximum value.
Use to set the SNMP server's maximum packet size.
Increase this value to improve the efficiency of the GetBulk operation.
Example
host1(config)#snmp-server packetsize 1000
Use the no version to set the SNMP packet size to the default maximum size, 1500
bytes.
See snmp-server packetsize.
