44 CHAPTER 6: SETTING SNMP AND SYSTEM PARAMETERS
Available SNMP
Context Commands
Table 13 lists the commands available in the SNMP context.
Setting Up SNMP
on Your System
To manage the Layer 3 Module from an external management
application, you must configure SNMP community strings and set up trap
reporting. The SNMP-based external management application (called the
SNMP manager) sends requests to the system, where they are processed
by the Layer 3 Module SNMP software. In addition, the Layer 3 Module
SNMP software can send traps to an SNMP manager to report significant
events.
The SNMP software provides access to information about the module.
The displays of Management Information Base (MIB) information differ
depending on the module SNMP management method that you choose.
Access to system information through SNMP is controlled by community
strings.
Configuring SNMP for
System Management
SNMP requests can be sent to any configured IP address on the Layer 3
Module.
To manage the module you need to assign at least one IP address to an IP
Virtual LAN (VLAN). See “Essential Configuration” on page 30, for
information on defining the first IP address. For information on defining
subsequent IP addresses, use the
ip interface define command,
described in “Defining an IP Interface” on page 64.
