Configuring for Network Management Applications
Overview
Monitoring and Managing
the Switch
Syntax: snmp-server [contact <contact-str>] [location <location-str>]
Both fields allow up to 48 charac ters, without spaces.
For example, to configure the switch with "Site-LAN-Ext.449" and a location
of "Level-2-North", you would execute the following command:
HP4108(config)# snmp-server contact Site-LANExt.449
location Level-2-North
Configuring Community Names and Values. If you enter a community
name without an operator or manager designation, the switch automatically
assigns the community to Operator for the MIB view. Also, if you do not sp ecify
restricted or unrestricted for the read/write MIB access, the switch automat-
ically restricts the community to read ac cess for the MIB.
The following SNMP command examples use add snmp to add new SNMP
communities:
Syntax: snmp-server community <community-name>
[operator | manager]
[restricted | unrestricted]
HP4108(config)# snmp-server community red-team

manager unrestricted

HP4108(config)# snmp-server community blue-team

operator restricted
