Creating a Basic SNMP Trap Configuration

occur. The following configuration example shows how to use CLI commands to associate SNMP notification parameters with security and authorization criteria (target parameters), and map the parameters to a management target address.

Note: This example illustrates how to configure an SNMPv2 trap notification. Creating an SNMPv1 or v3 Trap, or an SNMPv3 Inform notification would require using the same commands with different parameters, where appropriate. Always ensure that v1/v2 communities or v3 users used for generating traps or informs are pre-configured with enough privileges to access corresponding MIBs.

Complete an SNMPv2 trap configuration on a SecureStack C3 device as follows:

1.Create a community name that will act as an SNMP user password.

2.Create an SNMP target parameters entry to associate security and authorization criteria to the users in the community created in Step 1.

3.Verify if any applicable SNMP notification entries exist, or create a new one. You will use this entry to send SNMP notification messages to the appropriate management targets created in Step 2.

4.Create a target address entry to bind a management IP address to:

–The notification entry and tag name created in Step 3 and

–The target parameters entry created in Step 2.

Table 8‐11 shows the commands used to complete an SNMPv2 trap configuration on a SecureStack C3 device.

Table 8-11 Basic SNMP Trap Configuration

To do this...	Use these commands...
Create a community name.	set snmp community
Create an SNMP target parameters entry.	set snmp targetparams
Verify if any applicable SNMP notification	show snmp notify
entries exist.
Create a new notification entry.	set snmp notify
Create a target address entry.	set snmp targetaddr

Example

This example shows how to:

•Create an SNMP community called mgmt.

•Configure a trap notification called TrapSink.

This trap notification will be sent with the community name mgmt to the workstation 192.168.190.80 (which is target address tr). It will use security and authorization criteria contained in a target parameters entry called v2cExampleParams.

C3(su)->set snmp community mgmt

C3(su)->set snmp targetparams v2cExampleParams user mgmt security-model v2c message-processing v2c C3(su)->set snmp notify entry1 tag TrapSink

C3(su)->set snmp targetaddr tr 192.168.190.80 param v2cExampleParams taglist TrapSink
