Configuring SNMP on the RPM-PR Card
To configure the SNMP community string on an RPM-PR card, you need to use Cisco IOS commands
at the router prompt for the RPM-PR card. The following example shows how to do this.
Step 1 Login to the RPM card to determine whether the switch interface is active.
Router# enable
Router>(enable):show interfaces
Step 2 If the switch interface is not active, enter the config terminal command to activate it. The following
example shows you how to do this.
Router# config terminal
Router(config)#int switch 1
Router(config)#no shut
end
Step 3 Enter the show run command to display the running configuration and verify SNMP information.
Router# show run
....
....
snmp-server community public RW
snmp-server community private RW
....
....
Step 4 To change the read-write community string, enter the config terminal command. The following example
shows you how to do this.
Router#config terminal
Router(config) snmp-server community POPEYE RW
Step 5 Enter the exit command to get out of config terminal mode.
Router(config)#exit
Step 6 Enter the copy run start command to save the configuration for use at startup.
RPM-PR_LA_9#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...
[OK]
RPM-PR_LA_9#
Note The copy run start command performs the same function as the older write mem command.
