Initial Configuration Setting Up SNMP
4.6 SETTING UP SNMP
To use SNMP to manage the RS 8000/8600, you need to set up an SNMP community and specify the IP address of the
target host for SNMP traps. Otherwise, the RS’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode, unless disabled using
the
snmp stop
command.
For additional information about configuring SNMP, see the Riverstone Networks RS Switch Router User Guide.
4.6.1 Setting the Community string
Use the following procedure to add the SNMP community string, specify the target host for traps, and the trap
interface.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the
enable
command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the
configure
command in the CLI.
3.
Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target host IP address for
the traps:
Note
If the IP address of the trap target is more than one hop away from the
RS 8000/8600, configure the RS with a static route to the target. If the RS is
rebooted, the static route allows a cold start trap to be sent to the trap target.
Without a static route, the cold-start trap is lost while the routing protocols are
converging.
4.
Use the
save startup
command to activate the commands entered in the previous steps.
Here is an example of the commands and output for configuring SNMP and saving the changes.
