Chapter 33 Configuring SNMP

Configuring SNMP

	Command	Purpose
Step 6
	snmp-server enable traps	Enable the switch to send traps or informs and specify the type of
	notification-types	notifications to be sent. For a list of notification types, see Table 33-5 on
		page 33-12, or enter snmp-server enable traps ?
		To enable multiple types of traps, you must enter a separate snmp-server
		enable traps command for each trap type.
Step 7
	snmp-server trap-source interface-id	(Optional) Specify the source interface, which provides the IP address for
		the trap message. This command also sets the source IP address for
		informs.
Step 8
	snmp-server queue-length length	(Optional) Establish the message queue length for each trap host. The
		range is 1 to 1000; the default is 10.
Step 9
	snmp-server trap-timeout seconds	(Optional) Define how often to resend trap messages. The range is 1 to
		1000; the default is 30 seconds.
Step 10
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 11
	show running-config	Verify your entries.
Step 12
	copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

The snmp-server host command specifies which hosts receive the notifications. The snmp-server enable trap command globally enables the mechanism for the specified notification (for traps and informs). To enable a host to receive an inform, you must configure an snmp-server host informs command for the host and globally enable informs by using the snmp-server enable traps command.

To remove the specified host from receiving traps, use the no snmp-server host host global configuration command. The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs global configuration command. To disable a specific trap type, use the no snmp-server enable traps notification-typesglobal configuration command.

Setting the Agent Contact and Location Information

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the system contact and location of the SNMP agent so that these descriptions can be accessed through the configuration file:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	snmp-server contact text	Set the system contact string.
		For example:
		snmp-server contact Dial System Operator at beeper 21555.
Step 3
	snmp-server location text	Set the system location string.
		For example:
		snmp-server location Building 3/Room 222
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.
