RS 2100 Initial Configuration

Setting Up SNMP

4.6SETTING UP SNMP

To use SNMP to manage the RS 2100, you need to set up an SNMP community and specifying the IP address of the target host for SNMP traps. Otherwise, the RS 2100’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode, unless disabled using the snmp stop command.

For additional information about configuring and using SNMP, see the Riverstone RS Switch Router User Guide.

4.6.1Setting the Community string

Use the following procedure to add the SNMP community string, specify the target host for traps, and the trap interface.

1.Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.

2.Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.

3.Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target host IP address for the traps:

rs(config)#snmp set community <community-name>privilege readread-write

rs(config)#snmp set target <IP-addr>community <community-name>status enabledisable

Note If the IP address of the trap target is more than one hop away from the RS 2100, configure the RS with a static route to the target. If the RS 2100 is rebooted, the static route allows a cold start trap to be sent to the trap target. Without a static route, the cold-start trap is lost while the routing protocols are converging.

4.Use the save startup command to activate the commands entered in the previous steps. Here is an example of the commands and output for configuring SNMP and saving the changes.

rs# config

rs(config)# snmp set community public privilege read-write

rs(config)# snmp set target 16.50.11.12 community public status enable

rs(config)# save startup

Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration [no]? yes

There are non-committed configuration changes. Do you want to make these changes active and then save everything to Startup [yes]? yes

%CONFIG-I-SAVED, 2001-09-02 21:53:54 %GATED-I-RECONFIGDONE, Routing configuration changes completed (pid 0x809eab20).
