3.3.3.1Setting the SNMP Community String and Trap Receivers with Software Release 3.3

In the ERS 8000 Series Switch Release 3.3, SNMP community strings and traps are added by using the two commands shown below. In the 3.3 release, these commands appear in the configuration file.

ERS-8606:5#config sys set snmp community < rorwl2l3rwa> <commstring>

ERS-8606:5#config sys set snmp trap-recv <ipaddr> v2c public Where:

rorwl2l3rwa is the choice of community. ro is read-only, rw is read/write, l2 is layer 2 read/write, l3 is layer 3 (and layer 2) read/write, and rwa is read/write/all.

commstr is the input community string up to 1024 characters.

3.3.3.2Setting the SNMP Community String and Trap Receivers with Software Release 3.5, 4.0, 3.7 and 4.1

The two commands shown above in section 3.3.3.1 are now obsolete. To set the ERS 8600 community strings, enter the following command:

ERS-8606:5#config snmp-v3 community create <Comm Idx> <name> <security> [tag <value>]

Where:

config snmp-v3 community create followed by:

Comm IdxThe unique index value of a row in this table. The range is 1-32 characters.

name

The community string for which a row in this table

 

represents a configuration

security

Maps community string to the security name in the

 

VACM Group Member Table.

tag <value>

The transport tag name in the table. The range is 1-32

(optional)

characters.

In release 3.7 or 4.1, after you save the configuration, information regarding SNMP community strings are stored in a separate file and will not be found in the configuration file. This is not the case for software release 3.5.
