Chapter 6: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 Community Strings and Trap Commands

Management station IP addresses - These are the IP addresses of management stations that can access the switch through a community string that has a closed access status. (Management station IP addresses are displayed only when you specify a specific community string using the COMMUNITY parameter in this command.) To add IP addresses of management stations to a community string, refer to ADD SNMP COMMUNITY on page 81. To delete addresses, refer to DELETE SNMP COMMUNITY on page 86.

Trap receiver IP addresses - These are the IP addresses of management stations to receive SNMP traps from the switch. (IP addresses or trap receivers are displayed only when you specify a specific community string using the COMMUNITY parameter in this command.) To add IP addresses to a community string, refer to ADD SNMP COMMUNITY on page 81. To delete addresses, refer to DELETE SNMP COMMUNITY on page 86.

Access Status - If a community string shows an Open Access with Yes, the string has an open access status, meaning any management workstations can use the string. A string with a Open Access of No has a closed access status; only those management workstations whose IP addresses have been assigned to the string can use it. To change the access status, refer to SET SNMP COMMUNITY on page 95.

Examples

The following command displays the SNMP status and community strings on the switch:

show snmp

The following command displays specific information about the “private” community string. The information includes the IP addresses of management workstations that can use the string and the IP addresses of SNMP trap receivers:
