IPv6 Management Features

SNMP Management for IPv6

SNMP Configuration Commands Supported

IPv6 addressing is supported in the following SNMP configuration commands: For more information on each SNMP configuration procedure, refer to the “Configuring for Network Management Applications” chapter in the current Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

SNMPv1 and V2c

Syntax:. snmp-server host < ipv4-addr ipv6-addr > < community-name >

[none all non-info critical debug] [inform [retries < count >] [timeout < interval >]]

Executed at the global config level to configure an SNMP trap receiver to receive SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps, SNMPv2c informs, and (optionally) event log messages

SNMPv3

Syntax: snmpv3 targetaddress < name > params < parms_name >

 

<ipv4-addr ipv6-addr>

 

[addr-mask < ip4-addr>]

 

[filter < none debug all not-info critical>]

 

[max-msg-size < 484-65535 >]

 

[port-mask < tcp-udp port >]

 

[retries < 0 - 255 >]

 

[taglist <tag_name> ]

 

[timeout < 0 - 2147483647 >]

 

[udp-port port-number]

 

Executed at the global config level to configure an SNMPv3

 

management station to which notifications (traps and informs)

 

are sent.

 

 

N o t e

IPv6 is not supported in the configuration of an interface IPv6 address as the

 

default source IP address used in the IP headers of SNMP notifications (traps

 

and informs) or responses sent to SNMP requests. Only IPv4 addresses are

 

supported in the following configuration commands:

 

snmp-server trap-source < ipv4-addr loopback < 0-7 >>

 

snmp-server response-source [dst-ip-of-request ipv4-addr loopback < 0-7 >]

 

IPv6 addresses are supported in SNMP show command output as shown in

 

 

Figure 5-8 and Figure 5-9.
