Chapter 27      Configuring SNMP
    Displaying SNMP Status
This example shows how to send Entity MIB traps to the host cisco.com. The community string is 
restricted. The first line enables the switch to send Entity MIB traps in addition to any traps previously 
enabled. The second line specifies the destination of these traps and overwrites any previous 
snmp-server host commands for the host cisco.com.
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps entity 
Switch(config)# snmp-server host cisco.com restricted entity
This example shows how to enable the switch to send all traps to the host myhost.cisco.com using the 
community string public:
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps
Switch(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public
This example shows how to associate a user with a remote host and to send auth (authNoPriv) 
authentication-level informs when the user enters global configuration mode: 
Switch(config)# snmp-server engineID remote 192.180.1.27 00000063000100a1c0b4011b
Switch(config)# snmp-server group authgroup v3 auth
Switch(config)# snmp-server user authuser authgroup remote 192.180.1.27 v3 auth md5 
mypassword
Switch(config)# snmp-server user authuser authgroup v3 auth md5 mypassword
Switch(config)# snmp-server host 192.180.1.27 informs version 3 auth authuser config
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps
Switch(config)# snmp-server inform retries 0
Displaying SNMP Status
To display SNMP input and output statistics, including the number of illegal community string entries, 
errors, and requested variables, use the show snmp privileged EXEC command. You also can use the 
other privileged EXEC commands in Table 27-5 to display SNMP information. For information about 
the fields in the displays, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference for 
Release 12.1
