Chapter 33 Configuring SNMP

Configuring SNMP

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a community string on the switch:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	snmp-server community string [view	Configure the community string.
	view-name] [ro rw] [access-list-number]	• 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) For view, specify the view record accessible to the
		community.
		• (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.
Step 3
	access-listaccess-list-number {deny	(Optional) If you specified an IP standard access list number in
	permit} source [source-wildcard]	Step 2, then create the list, repeating the command as many times
		as necessary.
		• For access-list-number, enter the access list number specified
		in Step 2.
		• The deny keyword denies access if the conditions are
		matched. The permit keyword permits access if the conditions
		are matched.
		• For source, enter the IP address of the SNMP managers that
		are permitted to use the community string to gain access to the
		agent.
		• (Optional) For source-wildcard, enter the wildcard bits in
		dotted decimal notation to be applied to the source. Place ones
		in the bit positions that you want to ignore.
		Recall that the access list is always terminated by an implicit deny
		statement for everything.
Step 4
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
	show running-config	Verify your entries.
Step 6
	copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

Note To disable access for an SNMP community, set the community string for that community to the null string (do not enter a value for the community string).

To remove a specific community string, use the no snmp-server community string global configuration command.
