Lab – Configuring SNMP
© 2013 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 2 of 20
Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary
from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab for the
correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
Note: The snmp-server commands in this lab will cause the Cisco 2960 switch to issue a warning message
when saving the configuration file to NVRAM. To avoid this warning message verify that the switch is using
the lanbase-routing template. The IOS template is controlled by the Switch Database Manager (SDM).
When changing the preferred template, the new template will be used after reboot even if the configuration is
not saved.
S1# show sdm prefer
Use the following commands to assign the lanbase-routing template as the default SDM template.
S1# configure terminal
S1(config)# sdm prefer lanbase-routing
S1(config)# end
S1# reload
