Syntax
This
command is used to create a recipient of SNMP traps generated
by the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Description
<ipa
ddr> – The IP address of the remote management station that will
serve as the SNMP host for the Switch.
Parameters
v1 – Specifies that SNMP version 1 will 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 will 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 will 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.
noauth_nopriv – Specifies that there will be no authorization and no
encryption of packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP
manager.
auth_nopriv – Specifies that authorization will be required, but there
will be no encryption of packets sent between the Switch and a remote
SNMP manager.
auth_priv – Specifies that authorization will be required, and that
packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manger will be
encrypted.
<auth_string 32> – An alphanumeric string used to authorize a
remote
SNMP manager to access the Switch’s SNMP agent.
