Chapter 24 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure SNMP on the switch:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
snmp-server engineID {local
engineid-string | remote ip-address
[udp-port port-number] engineid-string}
Configure a name for either the local or remote copy of SNMP.
• The engineid-string is a 24-character ID string with the name of
the copy of SNMP. You need not specify the entire 24-character
engine ID if it has trailing zeros. Specify only the portion of the
engine ID up to the point where only zeros remain in the value.
For example, to configure an engine ID of
123400000000000000000000, you can enter this: snmp-server
engineID local 1234
• If you select remote, specify the ip-address of the device that
contains the remote copy of SNMP and the optional UDP port on
the remote device. The default is 162.
Step 3
snmp-server group groupname {v1 | v2c |
v3 [auth | noauth | priv]} [read readview]
[write writeview] [notify notifyview]
[access access-list]
Configure a new SNMP group on the remote device.
• For groupname, specify the name of the group.
• Specify a security model:
– v1 is the least secure of the possible security models.
– v2c is the second least secure model. It allows transmission
of informs and integers twice the normal width.
– v3, the most secure, requires you to select an authentication
level:
auth—Enables the Message Digest 5 (MD5) and the Secure
Hash Algorithm (SHA) packet authentication.
noauth—The noAuthNoPriv security level. This is the
default if no keyword is specified.
priv—Enables Data Encryption Standard (DES) packet
encryption (also called privacy).
Note The priv keyword is available only when the crypto software
image is installed.
• (Optional) Enter read readview with a string (not to exceed 64
characters) that is the name of the view in which you can only
view the contents of the agent.
• (Optional) Enter write writeview with a string (not to exceed 64
characters) that is the name of the view in which you enter data
and configure the contents of the agent.
• (Optional) Enter notify notifyview with a string (not to exceed 64
characters) that is the name of the view in which you specify a
notify, inform, or trap.
• (Optional) Enter access access-list with a string (not to exceed 64
characters) that is the name of the access list.
