Configuring SNMP
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:
Limiting TFTP Servers Used Through SNMP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to limit the TFTP ser vers used for saving and
loading configuration files through SNMP to the servers specified in an access list:
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 snmp-server contact text Set the system contact string.
For example:
snmp-server contact Dial System Operator at beeper 21555.
Step3 snmp-server location text Set the system location string.
For example:
snmp-server location Building 3/Room 222
Step4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step5 show running-config Verify your entries.
Step6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 snmp-server tftp-server-list
access-list-number
Limit TFTP servers used for configuration file copies through
SNMP to the servers in the access list.
For access-list-number, enter an IP standard access list numbered
from 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999.
Step3 access-list access-list-number {deny |
permit} source [source-wildcard]
Create a standard access list, repeating the command as many times
as necessary.
•For access-list-number, enter the access list number specified
in Step 2.
•The deny keyword denies access if the conditions are matched.
The permit keyword permits access if the conditions are
matched.
•For source, enter the IP address of the TFTP servers that can
access the switch.
•(Optional) For source-wildcard, enter the wildcard bits, in
dotted decimal notation, to be applied to the source. Place ones
in the bit positions that you want to ignore.
Recall that the access list is always terminated by an implicit deny
statement for everything.
