Fortress ES-Series CLI Guide: Mesh Point CLI and Administrative Access

Audit Status: required
SNMP is disabled on the Mesh Point by default.
To configure SNMP:
Configure the Mesh Point’s SNMP settings interactively with
set snmp:
# set snmp
EnableV3SNMP[N] (Y|N to enable|disable Version 3 SNMP): y
Contact[""] (Name of contact person):
<admin@domain.com>
Description["Fortress Security Controller"] (System description):
Location[""] (Name of location):
<locationID>
EnableTrap[Y] (Y|N to enable|disable trap):
PrivacyPassphrase (Privacy passphrase string):
<PrivPassphrase>
PrivacyPassphraseConfirm (Confirm privacy passphrase string):
<PrivPassphrase>
AuthPassphrase (Authentication passphrase string):
<AuthPassphrase>
AuthPassphraseConfirm (Confirm authentication passphrase string):
<AuthPassphrase>
ConfiguredEngineID[""] (5 to 32 character SNMP EngineID for this device):
NOTE: The SNMP
v3 username is
FSGSnmpAdmin and
cannot be changed.
In addition to enabling or disabling SNMP v3, you can enter a
contact E-mail address to serve as the SNMP
Contact,
provide a new
Description of the Mesh Point (Fortress
Controller
, by default) and identify the Location of the Mesh
Point. You can optionally enable/disable SNMP traps.
If you enable SNMP v3, you must also enter and confirm
SNMP v3 authentication and privacy passphrases of 15–32
alphanumeric characters (without spaces).
Alternatively, you can use the
set snmp command with valid
switches and arguments to configure SNMP on the Mesh
Point:
# set snmp -enable y|n -c
<contact>
-d
<description>
-l
<location>
-trap y|n
-authpass
<AuthenticationPassphrase>
-authpassconfirm
<AuthenticationPassphrase>
-privpass
<PrivacyPassphrase>
-privpassconfirm
<PrivacyPassphrase>
-engineid
<IDstring>
-defengineid
SNMP traps are disabled (
n
), by default, and no traps will be
sent until trap destinations are added to the Mesh Point’s
SNMP configuration (below).
With
-engineid, you can specify a 5–32 character string to
serve as an SNMP engine ID to uniquely identify the SNMPv3
agent on the Mesh Point. Use
-defengineid by itself to clear a
configured SNMP engine ID by restoring the default ID (unique
per Mesh Point).
To configure SNMP traps
When SNMP traps are configured, the SNMP daemon running
on the Mesh Point detects certain system events and sends
notice of their occurrence to a server running an SNMP
management application, the network management system
(NMS), or trap destination.
