C HAPTER 2 | Initial Switch Configuration
Basic Configuration
– 74 –
Console(config)#snmp-server community admin rw
Console(config)#snmp-server community private
Console(config)#
N OTE : If you do not intend to support access to SNMP version 1 and 2c
clients, we recommend that you delete both of the default community
strings. If there are no community strings, then SNMP management access
from SNMP v1 and v2c clients is disabled.
TRAP RECEIVERS
You can also specify SNMP stations that are to receive traps from the
switch. To configure a trap receiver, use the “snmp-server host” command.
From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt, type:
“snmp-server host host-address community-string
[version {1 | 2c | 3 {auth | noauth | priv}}]”
where “host-address” is the IP address for the trap receiver, “community-
string” specifies access rights for a version 1/2c host, or is the user name
of a version 3 host, “version” indicates the SNMP client version, and “auth |
noauth | priv” means that authentication, no authentication, or
authentication and privacy is used for v3 clients. Then press <Enter>. For
a more detailed description of these parameters, see "snmp-server host"
on page 586. The following example creates a trap host for each type of
SNMP client.
Console(config)#snmp-server host 10.1.19.23 batman
Console(config)#snmp-server host 10.1.19.98 robin version 2c
Console(config)#snmp-server host 10.1.19.34 barbie version 3 auth
Console(config)#
CONFIGURING ACCESS FOR SNMP VERSION 3 CLIENTS
To configure management access for SNMPv3 clients, you need to first
create a view that defines the portions of MIB that the client can read or
write, assign the view to a group, and then assign the user to a group. The
following example creates one view called “mib-2” that includes the entire
MIB-2 tree branch, and then another view that includes the IEEE 802.1d
bridge MIB. It assigns these respective read and read/write views to a
group call “r&d” and specifies group authentication via MD5 or SHA. In the
last step, it assigns a v3 user to this group, indicating that MD5 will be
used for authentication, provides the password “greenpeace” for
authentication, and the password “einstien” for encryption.
Console(config)#snmp-server view mib-2 1.3.6.1.2.1 included
Console(config)#snmp-server view 802.1d 1.3.6.1.2.1.17 included
Console(config)#snmp-server group r&d v3 auth read mib-2 write 802.1d
