Cisco Systems 3825 manual Routerconfig# snmp-server community xxxxx RO

Chapter 4 Configuring the Cisco 3825 Mobile Wireless Edge Router in a RAN-O Solution with the Command-Line

Configuration Sequence

To configure a Cisco 3825 for SNMP, follow these steps while in the global configuration mode:

Step 1 To set up the community access string to permit access to the SNMP, use the snmp-server community command. The no form of this command removes the specified community string.

Router(config)# snmp-server community string [view view-name] [ro rw] [number]

Where:

•string—Community string that acts like a password and permits access to the SNMP protocol.

•view view-name—(Optional) Name of a previously defined view. The view defines the objects available to the community.

•ro—(Optional) Specifies read-only access. Authorized management stations are only able to retrieve MIB objects.

•rw—(Optional) Specifies read-write access. Authorized management stations are able to both retrieve and modify MIB objects.

•number—(Optional) Integer from 1 to 99 that specifies an access list of IP addresses that are allowed to use the community string to gain access to the SNMP agent.

For example, the following command sets up the community access string as xxxxx with read-only access:

Router(config)# snmp-server community xxxxx RO

Step 2 To establish the message queue length for each trap host, use the snmp-serverqueue-lengthcommand.

Router(config)# snmp-server queue-length length

Where length is the integer that specifies the number of trap events that can be held before the queue must be emptied.

For example, the following command establishes the number of trap events to 100:

Router(config)# snmp-server queue-length 100

Step 3 To enable the router to send SNMP traps or informs (SNMP notifications), use the snmp-server enable traps command. Use the no form of this command to disable SNMP notifications.

Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps [notification-type][notification-option]

Where:

•notification-type—snmp[authentication]—Enables RFC 1157 SNMP notifications. Note that use of the authentication keyword produces the same effect as not using the authentication keyword. Both the snmp-server enable traps snmp and snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication forms of this command will globally enable (or, if using the no form, disable) the following SNMP traps:

–authentication failure

–linkup

–linkdown

–coldstart

–warmstart
