SETTING UP SNMP To use SNMP to manage the RS 8000/8600, you need to set up an SNMP community and specify the IP address of the target host for SNMP traps. Otherwise, the RS’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode, unless disabled using command.
Anyone with a protocol decoder and access to the wire can capture, modify, and replay messages. Applying ACLs to SNMP When using SNMP, it is important to protect your RS 8000/8600 by applying an Access Control List (ACL) to the SNMP agent to prevent unauthorized access and route your SNMP traffic through trusted networks only.
Initial Configuration Setting Up SNMP For additional information about RS 8000/8600 security and ACLs, see the Riverstone Networks RS Switch Router User Guide. 4.6.3 Supported MIBs The following lists the MIBs that are supported by the RS 8000/8600 SNMP agent.
SETTING THE DNS DOMAIN NAME AND ADDRESS Associating a DNS name server with your RS 8000/8600 allows you to use device names (rather than IP addresses) when entering certain commands. For example, you can use a device’s name (which the DNS server knows) when using the command.

%CONFIG-I-SAVED configuration saved to Startup configuration The RS 8000/8600 writes the SYSLOG messages to a SYSLOG daemon on UDP port 514. You can set the CLI to send all or only some of the message types. By default, the CLI sends warning, error, and fatal messages but not informational messages to the specified SYSLOG server.
CM’s configuration file. In this way, if the primary CM fails, the backup CM has all the configuration information necessary to take over as the primary CM. For instance, a static route is added to the RS 8000/8600. Notice the messages displayed in the example when the change is saved to both the Active and Startup Configuration: rs1(config)# ip add route 134.141.169.0/24 gateway 134.141.179.129...
When the original primary CM reboots or is reset, it assumes the role of the backup CM. Notice that the default positions for the CMs within the RS 8000/8600 chassis have now changed – the primary CM now resides in slot CM/1 and the backup CM resides in slot CM.
CM. The dollar sign also appears if you connect to the backup CM through its console port. When connected to the backup CM (either through telnet or the console) you are provided with only a sub-set of the commands available on the primary CM. 4-24 Riverstone Networks RS 8000/8600 Switch Router Getting Started Guide...
