NEC NWA-008869-001 manual Setting a community name and an access type

CHAPTER 6 MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE

MANAGEMENT WITH SNMP

Setting a community name and an access type

Set a community name and the type of access to the In-Skin Router. Either of the following can be set as the access type. The default is “ro” (MIB read only).

(1)MIB read only (ro), Trap transmission

(2)MIB read/write (rw), Trap transmission

In this example, “private” is set as a community name and “rw” in (2) above is set as an access type.

Assign “private_view” to the community. This permits the SNMP manager attempting to access with the community name “private” to gain access to MIB II information only.

Router (config) # snmp − agent ip community private view private_view rw Enter

Router (config) #

NOTE: For security, the community name should be a combination of characters and digits that is dif- ficult for other people to guess.

Specifying a trap source interface

Assign the IP address of the desired interface as the address of the trap packet source.

Router (config) # snmp − agent trap − source FastEthernet0.0 Enter

Router (config) #

Setting the IP address of the trap destination

Set the trap destination address. Up to eight trap destination addresses can be registered.

In this example, the address 10.42.64.21 is set on the SNMP host.

Router (config) # snmp − agent host 10.42.64.21 private Enter

Router (config) #
