Purpose To create a recipient of SNMP traps generated by the Switch’s
SNMP agent.
Syntax
create snmp host <ipaddr> [v1<community_string 20> |
v2c<community_string 20> | v3 [noauth_nopriv | auth_nopriv |
auth_priv]<auth_string 24>]
Description The create snmp host command creates a recipient of SNMP traps
generated by the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Parameters <ipaddr> − The IP address of the remote management station to
serve as the SNMP host for the Switch.
v1 – Specifies that SNMP version 1 is to be used. The Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), version 1, is a network
management protocol that provides a means to monitor and control
network devices.
v2c – Specifies that SNMP version 2c is to be used. The SNMP v2c
supports both centralized and distributed network management
strategies. It includes improvements in the Structure of Management
Information (SMI) and adds some security features.
v3 – Specifies that the SNMP version 3 is to be used. SNMP v3
provides secure access to devices through a combination of
authentication and encrypting packets over the network. SNMP v3
adds:
• Message integrity − ensures that packets have not been
tampered with during transit.
• Authentication − determines if an SNMP message is from a
valid source.
• Encryption − scrambles the contents of messages to prevent
it being viewed by an unauthorized source.
<community_string 20> − A string of up to 20 alphanumeric
characters that identifies members of an SNMP community. This
string is used like a password to give remote SNMP managers
access to MIB objects in the Switch’s SNMP agent.
noauth_nopriv − Specifies that there is no authorization and no
encryption of packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP
manager.
auth_nopriv − Specifies that authorization is required, but there is no
encryption of packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP
manager.
auth_priv − Specifies that authorization is required, and that packets
sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manger are
encrypted.
<auth_string 24> − A string of up to 24 alphanumeric characters
used in SNMP v3 to authorize a remote SNMP manager to access
the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Restrictions Only Administrator and oper-level users can issue this command
