Designating the SNMP Contact
To designate the person or the organization responsible for SNMP on the network, use
the snmp-server sysinfo contact command. The syntax for the Global Configuration
command is:
snmp-server sysinfo contact contact
The following example indicates that the SNMP server maintained by Joe in the IT
department:
(SafeGuardOS) # configure terminal
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # snmp-server sysinfo contact IT_joe
(SafeGuardOS) (config) #
Configuring SNMP Communities
Adding and Naming a New SNMP Community
To add and name a new SNMP community, use the snmp-server community command.
A community name is a name associated with the device and a set of SNMP managers
that manage it with a specified privileged level.
No default community strings exist; SNMP access is disabled by default on the device.
On initial installation, the read-only and read-write community strings must be
configured. Configure OmniVista SafeGuard Manager with the device names.
snmp-server community name
The following example creates a community string with the name public.
(SafeGuardOS) # configure terminal
(SafeGuardOS) (config) # snmp-server community public
(SafeGuardOS) (config) #
Syntax Description contact Text used to identify a contact person or
organization for the device. It can be up to 31
alphanumeric characters. The factory default is
blank.
Syntax Description name Name for an SNMP server community. By default,
this community string is read only. The name can
be up to 16 case-sensitive characters.
