4.4.5 Typical SNMP Configuration Examples

The IP address of the NMS is 1.1.1.5; the IP address of the switch (Agent) is 1.1.1.9.
Scenario 1: The NMS network administrative software uses SNMP protocol to obtain data
from the switch.
The configuration on the switch is listed below:
Switch(config)#snmp-server enable
Switch(config)#snmp-server community rw private
Switch(config)#snmp-server community ro public
Switch(config)#snmp-server securityip 1.1.1.5
The NMS can use private as the community string to access the switch with read-write
permission, or use public as the community string to access the switch with read-only
permission.
Scenario 2: NMS will receive Trap messages from the switch (Note: NMS may have
community string verification for the Trap messages. In this scenario, the NMS uses a Trap
verification community string of usertrap).
The configuration on the switch is listed below:
Switch(config)#snmp-server enable
Switch(config)#snmp-server host 1.1.1.5 v1 usertrap
Switch(config)#snmp-server enable traps
Scenario 3: NMS uses SNMP v3 to obtain information from the switch.
The configuration on the switch is listed below:
Switch(config)#snmp-server
Switch(config)#snmp-server user tester UserGroup authPriv auth md5 hellotst
Switch(config)#snmp-server group UserGroup AuthPriv read max write max notify max
Switch(config)#snmp-server view max 1 include
Scenario 4: NMS wants to receive the v3Trap messages sent by the switch.
The configuration on the switch is listed below:
Switch(config)#snmp-server enable
Switch(config)#snmp-server host 10.1.1.2 v3 authpriv tester
Switch(config)#snmp-server enable traps
Scenario 5: The IPv6 address of the NMS is 2004:1:2:3::2; the IPv6 address of the switch
(Agent) is 2004:1:2:3::1. The NMS network administrative software uses SNMP protocol to
obtain data from the switch.
