create snmp host
Purpose Used to create a recipient of SNMP traps
generated by the switch’s SNMP agent.
Syntax
create snmp host <ipaddr> [v1|v2c|v3
[noauth_nopriv|auth_nopriv|auth_priv]
<auth_string 32>]
Description
The create snmp host command creates a
recipient of SNMP traps generated by the
switch’s SNMP agent.
Parameters
<ipaddr> − The IP address of the remote
management station that will serve as the
SNMP host for the switch.
v1 – Specifies that SNMP version 1 will be used.
The Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP), version 1, is a network management
protocol that provides a means to monitor and
control network devices.
v2c – Specifies that SNMP version 2c will be
used. The SNMP v2c supports both
centralized and distributed network
management strategies. It includes
improvements in the Structure of Management
Information (SMI) and adds some security
features.
v3 – Specifies that the SNMP version 3 will be
used. SNMP v3 provides secure access to
devices through a combination of authentication
and encrypting packets over the network.
SNMP v3 adds:
Message integrity − ensures that packets have
not been tampered with during transit.
Authentication − determines if an SNMP
message is from a valid source.
