Configuring SNMP

Disabling the SNMP Agent

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable the SNMP agent:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
no snmp-server
Step 3
end
Step 4
show running-config
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
No specific IOS command exists to enable SNMP. The first snmp-server global configuration command
that you enter enables SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.

Configuring Community Strings

You use the SNMP community string to define the relationship between the SNMP manager and the
agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the switch. Optionally,
you can specify one or more of these characteristics associated with the string:
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a community string on the switch:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
snmp-server community string [ro | rw]
[access-list-number]
78-11380-04
An access list of IP addresses of the SNMP managers that are permitted to use the community string
to gain access to the agent
A MIB view, which defines the subset of all MIB objects accessible to the given community
Read and write or read-only permission for the MIB objects accessible to the community
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Disable the SNMP agent operation.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the community string.
For string, specify a string that acts like a password and
permits access to the SNMP protocol. You can configure one
or more community strings of any length.
(Optional) Specify either read-only (ro) if you want
authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects, or
specify read-write (rw) if you want authorized management
stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects. By default, the
community string permits read-only access to all objects.
(Optional) For access-list-number, enter an IP standard access
list numbered from 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999.
