snmp-server

Required Command-Line Mode = Configure

Use the snmp-server command to configure all SNMP-related functionality on the GigaVUE‑OS node, including enabling SNMP generally, adding notification destinations, specifying notification events, adding standard MIB-II contact/location info, and enabling the system’s SNMP server so that management stations can poll the GigaVUE‑OS node remotely using standard SNMP commands (Get, GetNext, Walk, and so on).

Refer to the “Use SNMP” chapter in the GigaVUE Administration Guide for details on configuring SNMP.

The snmp-server command has the following syntax:

snmp-server
   community <community string>
   contact <string>
   enable [communities] [mult-communities] [notify]
   host <IPv4 / IPv6 address or Hostname>

Notes

Refer to the following notes about SNMPv3 hosts and SNMPv3 users:

  • On upgrading GigaVUE-OS devices from software version 6.3.00 to 6.4.00: SNMPv3 host requires SNMPv3 users to be created in the system. If SNMPv3 users are not already created in software version 6.300 or lower, then on upgrading to software version 6.4.00, the users will be created by the system based on SNMPv3 host configuration.
  • From software version 6.4 and higher (fresh installations): Before configuring SNMPv3 host, you must create SNMPv3 users. Otherwise, traps will not be sent. It is recommended to configure the same authentication parameters for users as well as the SNMP hosts to avoid using wrong credentials for encryption.

The following table describes the arguments for the snmp-server command.

Argument

Description

community <community string>

Specifies the read-only community string used to connect to this node using SNMP. The default value is public.

If you enable the mult-communities option, you can specify multiple community strings for the node.

Refer to the “Recommendations for Vulnerabilities” section in the GigaVUE Fabric Management Guide for more information.

Examples:

(config) # snmp-server community secret

contact <string>

Specifies the MIB-II contact information for this device (syscontact). For example:

(config) # snmp-server contact “John Smith”

enable
  [communities]
   [mult-communities]
   [notify]

Specifies different aspects of the system’s SNMP functionality as follows:

● enable—Enables the SNMP server in general.
● enable communities—Enables community-based authentication for the system.
● enable mult-communities—Allows the configuration of multiple communities with the snmp-server community <community string> command for authentication.
● enable notify—Enables notifications, allowing SNMP informs and traps to be sent from this node/cluster. Once notifications are enabled, you can specify the events that will generate traps using the snmp-server notify command.

Refer to the “Recommendations for Vulnerabilities” section in the GigaVUE Administration Guide for details.

host

Adds a destination for SNMP notifications.

 

<IPv4 / IPv6 address or Hostname>

Specifies the IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or the hostname of this destination for SNMP traps. You can specify multiple destinations, each with its own trap version and community string.

 

disable

Temporarily disables the sending of traps to the specified destination. For example, the following command disables traps sent to 192.168.1.25:

(config) # snmp-server host 192.168.1.25 disable

To re-enable traps for the specified destination:

(config) # no snmp-server host 192.168.1.25 disable

 

informs [community] [port <port number>] [version <2c | 3>]

for version 3 only:

<engineID <engine ID> <user <username>> <auth | encrypted auth | prompt auth><md5 <password> | sha <password> <priv <des <password> | aes-128 <password>>

Specifies whether or not this destination should be used as a destination for SNMP inform events. You can override the default port and community string configured with the snmp-server notify commands using custom strings for this destination.

Strings must be supplied in quotation marks. If you supply an empty community string (“”), the global community string specified with the snmp-server notify community <community string> command is used instead.

Also specifies the version of SNMP to use. You can specify either version 2c or 3. The default is version 2c. For example:

(config) # snmp-server host 1.1.1.1 informs

If you specify version 3, you also supply an engine ID, user name, and other settings to be sent with the notification.

 

traps [community] [port <port number>] [version <1 | 2c | 3>]

for version 3 only:

<user <username>> <auth | encrypted auth | prompt auth> <md5 <password> | sha <password> <priv <des <password> | aes-128 <password>>

Specifies whether this destination should be used as a destination for SNMP trap events. You can override the default port and community string configured with the snmp-server notify commands using custom strings for this destination.

Strings must be supplied in quotation marks. If you supply an empty community string (“”), the global community string specified with the snmp-server notify community <community string> command is used instead.

Also specifies the version of SNMP to use. You can specify either version 2c or 3. The default is version 2c. For example:

(config) # snmp-server host 1.1.1.1 traps

If you specify 3, you must specify user name and other settings to be sent with the notification.

Refer to the Notes section for SNMPv3 hosts and SNMPv3 user configuration details during upgrade from 6.3.00 to higher versions and for fresh installation of GigaVUE-OS nodes.

location <string>

Specifies the location of the system (syslocation). For example:

(config) # snmp-server location “2nd Floor”

notify community <community string>

Specifies the default community string to be sent with SNMP notifications. If a destination has its own community string configured with snmp-server host, that string takes precedence over this one. However, if a destination does not have a string configured, this value is used.

For example:

(config) # snmp-server notify community public

notify event

For example:

(config) # snmp-server notify event all
