SNMP Settings

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets a network administrator monitor problems on a network by retrieving settings on remote network devices. The network administrator typically runs an SNMP management station program on a local host to obtain information from an SNMP agent such as the Cayman Gateway.

BOTH	set snmp community	name
	Adds the specified name to the list of communities associated with the Cayman
	Gateway. By default, the Cayman Gateway is associated with the public commu-
	nity. You can associate as many as 16 communities with the Cayman Gateway.

BOTH set snmp traps authentication-traps { on off }

Enables or disables SNMP trapping. If SNMP trapping is enabled, your Cayman Gateway sends authentication traps to all SNMP trap destinations. You must enable trap authentication before you set up your trap destinations.

BOTH	set snmp traps ip-traps	ip-address	[ community	community-name	]
	Identifies the destination for SNMP trap messages. The ip-addressargument is
	the IP address of the host acting as an SNMP console. The optional
	community community-nameidentifies the name of the Cayman Gateway
	community, which is included in the trap message the device sends to the man-
	agement console. This name, which is not used for authentication, does not have
	to match a predefined community name.

BOTH	set snmp sysgroup contact	contact_info
	Identifies the system contact, such as the name, phone number, beeper number,
	or email address of the person responsible for the Cayman Gateway. You can
	enter up to 256 characters for the contact_info argument. You must put the
	contact_info argument in double-quotes if it contains embedded spaces. .

BOTH set snmp sysgroup location location_info

Identifies the location, such as the building, floor, or room number, of the Cay- man Gateway. You can enter up to 256 characters for the location_info argu- ment. You must put the location_info argument in double-quotes if it contains embedded spaces.

System Settings

You can configure system settings to assign a name to your Cayman Gateway and to specify what types of messages you want the diagnostic log to record.

BOTH

set system name name

Specifies the name of your Cayman Gateway. Each Cayman Gateway is assigned a name as part of its factory initialization. The default name for a Cayman Gate- way consists of the word “Cayman-2E” and the serial number of the device; for example, Cayman-2E810700. A system name can be 1-64 characters long. Once
