Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration

Initial System Configuration

Type y and press Enter.

Enable SNMP management? [no]: y

If you choose to disable SNMP management, skip the rest of this section and go to Step 9: Configuring the Topology-Dependent Parameters (on page 5-18). The rest of the dialog is not presented, as it is irrelevant when SNMP management is disabled.

Step 3 Type the SNMP GET community name and press Enter.

The SNMP agent that resides inside the SCE 1000 will respond only to GET requests that use this community string.

Enter SNMP GET community name:

Note that there is no default for this parameter.

Step 4 Assign an access list to restrict the SNMP management stations that may use this GET community.

Type a number (1 through 99) or type “0” to permit access to all IP addresses, and press Enter.

Enter Access list number allowing access with this community string, use ‘0’ to allow all:

Step 5 The maximum number of GET communities is 20.

To add more entries, type y and press Enter

Would you like to add another SNMP GET community? [no]:y Enter up to 20 SNMP GET communities as described in step 3 and step 4.

When all entries have been added, press Enter

Would you like to add another SNMP GET community? [no]:

Step 6 Type the SNMP SET community name and press Enter.

The SNMP agent that resides inside the SCE 1000 will respond only to SET requests that use this community string.

Enter SNMP SET community name:

Note that there is no default for this parameter.

Step 7 Assign an access list to restrict the SNMP management stations that may use this SET community.

Type a number (1 through 99) or type “0” to permit access to all IP addresses, and press Enter. Enter Access list number allowing access with this community string, use ‘0’ to allow all:

Step 8 The maximum number of SET communities is 20.

To add more entries, type y and press Enter

Would you like to add another SNMP SET community? [no]:y

Enter up to 20 SNMP SET communities as described in step 6 and step 7.

When all entries have been added, press Enter

Would you like to add another SNMP SET community? [no]:

Step 9 Enter the SNMP trap managers menu.

Would you like to configure SNMP trap managers? [no]: y

Type y and press Enter.

The SNMP trap managers dialog begins.
