166 Configuring SNMP
320657-A
The inform or trap option specifies whether the WSS Software SNMP engine expects the target to acknowledge notifi-
cations sent to the target by the WSS switch. Use inform if you want acknowledgements. Use trap if you do not want
acknowledgements. The inform option is applicable to SNMP version v2c or usm only.
The username is a USM username, and is applicable only when the SNMP version is usm. If the user will send informs
rather than traps, you also must specify the snmpSNMP-engine-id of the target. Specify ip if the target’s SNMP engine
ID is based on its IP address. If the target’s SNMP engine ID is a hexadecimal value, use hex hex-string to specify the
value.
The community-string is applicable only when the SNMP version is v1 or v2c.
The profile-name is the notification profile. The default is default.
The security option specifies the security level, and is applicable only when the SNMP version is usm:
• unsecured—Message exchanges are not authenticated, nor are they encrypted. This is the default.
• authenticated—Message exchanges are authenticated, but are not encrypted.
• encrypted—Message exchanges are authenticated and encrypted.
The retries and timeout options are applicable only when the SNMP version is v2c or usm and the notification type is
inform. The retries option specifies the number of times the WSS Software SNMP engine will resend a notification that
has not been acknowledged by the target. You can specify from 0 to 3 retries. The default is 0. The timeout option
specifies the number of seconds WSS Software waits for acknowledgement of a notification. You can specify from 1 to
5 seconds. The default is 2.
Command Examples
The following command configures a notification target for acknowledged notifications:
23x0# set snmp notify target 1 10.10.40.9 usm inform user securesnmpmgr1 snmp-engine-id
ip
success: change accepted.
This command configures target 1 at IP address 10.10.40.9. The target’s SNMP engine ID is based on its address. The
WSS Software SNMP engine will send notifications based on the default profile, and will require the target to acknowl-
edge receiving them.
The following command configures a notification target for unacknowledged notifications:
23x0# set snmp notify target 2 10.10.40.10 v1 trap
success: change accepted.
