Example usage:
To create an SNMP host to receive SNMP messages:
DES-3528:admin# create snmp host 10.48.74.100 v3 auth_priv public
Command: create snmp host 10.48.74.100 v3 auth_priv public
Success.
DES-3528:admin#
Used to create a recipient of SNMP traps generated by the Switch's SNMP agent.
create snmp host [<ipaddr> | v6host <ipv6addr>] [v1 | v2c | v3 [noauth_nopriv |
auth_nopriv | auth_priv]] <auth_string 32>
This command creates a recipient of SNMP traps generated by the Switch's SNMP agent.
<ipaddr> − The IP address of the remote management station that will serve as the SNMP
host for the Switch.
<ipv6addr> − The IPv6 address of the remote management station that will serve as the
SNMP host for the Switch.
v1 – Specifies that SNMP version 1 will be used. The Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP), version 1, is a network management protocol that provides a means to monitor and
control network devices.
v2c – Specifies that SNMP version 2c will be used. The SNMP v2c supports both centralized
and distributed network management strategies. It includes improvements in the Structure of
Management Information (SMI) and adds some security features.
v3 – Specifies that the SNMP version 3 will be used. SNMP v3 provides secure access to
devices through a combination of authentication and encrypting packets over the network.
SNMP v3 adds:
• Message integrity − ensures that packets have not been tampered with during
transit.
• Authentication − determines if an SNMP message is from a valid source.
• Encryption − scrambles the contents of messages to prevent it being viewed by an
unauthorized source.
−
noauth_nopriv Specifies that there will be no authorization and no encryption of packets
sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manager.
auth_nopriv − Specifies that authorization will be required, but there will be no encryption of
packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manager.
auth_priv − Specifies that authorization will be required, and that packets sent between the
Switch and a remote SNMP manger will be encrypted.
<auth_string 32> − An alphanumeric string used to authorize a remote SNMP manager to
access the Switch's SNMP agent.
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
