Chapter 33 Configuring SNMP

Configuring SNMP

This example shows how to assign the string comaccess to SNMP, to allow read-only access, and to specify that IP access list 4 can use the community string to gain access to the switch SNMP agent:

Switch(config)# snmp-server community comaccess ro 4

Configuring SNMP Groups and Users

You can specify an identification name (engine ID) for the local or remote SNMP server engine on the switch. You can configure an SNMP server group that maps SNMP users to SNMP views, and you can add new users to the SNMP group.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure SNMP on the switch:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	snmp-server engineID {local engineid-string	Configure a name for either the local or remote copy of SNMP.
	remote ip-address [udp-portport-number]	• The engineid-stringis a 24-character ID string with the name
	engineid-string}
		of the copy of SNMP. You need not specify the entire
		24-character engine ID if it has trailing zeros. Specify only the
		portion of the engine ID up to the point where only zeros
		remain in the value. For example, to configure an engine ID of
		123400000000000000000000, you can enter this:
		snmp-server engineID local 1234
		• If you select remote, specify the ip-addressof the device that
		contains the remote copy of SNMP and the optional User
		Datagram Protocol (UDP) port on the remote device. The
		default is 162.
