xStack DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Managed Switch CLI Manual
create snmp host
Purpose Used to create a recipient of SNMP traps generated by the Switch’s
SNMP agent.
Syntax
create snmp host <ipaddr> [v1 | v2c | v3 [noauth_nopriv |
auth_nopriv | auth_priv] <auth_string 32>]
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 that will
serve as the SNMP host for the Switch.
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_sting 32> − An alphanumeric string used to authorize a remote
SNMP manager to access the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
