Configuring SNMP for Inband Access
You can configure SNMP for inband access using the following:
• Using SNMP v2 without context—You can use a community that is mapped to a context. In this case,
the SNMP client does not need to know about the context.
• Using SNMP v2 with context—The SNMP client needs to specify the context by specifying a community;
for example, <community>@<context>.
• Using SNMP v3—You can specify the context.
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Maps an SNMP context to the management VRF or default
VRF. Custom VRFs are not supported. The names can be
any alphanumeric string up to 32 characters.
switch(config)# snmp-server context
context-name vrf vrf-name
Step 2
By default, SNMP sends the traps using the
management VRF. If you do not want to use the
management VRF, you must use this command
to specify the desired VRF.
Note
Maps an SNMPv2c community to an SNMP context and
identifies the group to which the community belongs. The
names can be any alphanumeric string up to 32 characters.
switch(config)# snmp-server
community community-name group
group-name
Step 3
Maps an SNMPv2c community to an SNMP context. The
names can be any alphanumeric string up to 32 characters.
switch(config)# snmp-server mib
community-map community-name
context context-name
