Description
Use the snmp-agent sys-info command to set the system information, including geographical location
of the switch, contact information for system maintenance, and the SNMP version employed by the
switch.
Use the undo snmp-agent sys-info location command to restore the default contact information and
geographical location, or stop the running of the corresponding SNMP version.
If the switch fails, you can contact the switch manufacturer according to the system information.
The SNMP versions of the device and the NMS must be consistent; otherwise data exchange cannot be
completed.
The device processes the SNMP messages of the corresponding SNMP version when the SNMP
version is enabled on the device. If only SNMPv1 is enabled, while the device receives SNMPv2c
messages, the messages will be discarded; if only SNMPv2c is enabled, the device discards the
received SNMPv1 messages.
Multiple SNMP versions can be running the on the device at the same time to allow access of different
NMSs.
By default, the contact information of a Switch 4500 is " 3Com Corporation.", the geographical location
is " Marlborough, MA 01752 USA", and the SNMP version employed is SNMPv3.
You can use the display snmp-agent sys-info command to display the current SNMP system
information.
