Using the CLI to configure SNMP notifications
In the CLI, use the snmp enable notifiy command to configure SNMP notifications. For example, to enable all
notifications, enter the following commands:
CONTROLLER>snmp enable notify all
CONTROLLER>snmp apply
To enable health notifications, enter the following commands:
CONTROLLER>snmp enable notify health
CONTROLLER>snmp apply
To disable notifications, use the snmp disable notify command. For example, to disable health notifications, enter
the following commands:
CONTROLLER>snmp disable notify health
CONTROLLER>snmp apply

Configuring SNMPv1/v2c communities

An SNMP community defines the relationship between the SNMP manager and agent. Every community must
have a "community string", which acts like a password to authenticate clients. You can also specify one or more of
these characteristics associated with the community:
• Read and write or read-only permission for the MIB objects accessible to the community
• 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
NOTE: SNMP communities are features of SNMPv1/SNMPv2c and therefore provide limited security. For better
security, consider implementing SNMPv3 and VACM instead.
