Detailed configuration of the network device
Enable the SNMP agent service:
DGS-3610(config)# snmp-server community public RO
As long as the above command is configured in the global configuration mode, the SNMP
agent service is enabled on the network device, and then the NMS can monitor the SNMP
for the network device. However, just read-only authority is configured; the NMS can not
modify the router‘s configuration but monitor its running. Other configurations are optional.
If the read-write function is required, it can be configured as follows:
DGS-3610(config)# snmp-server community private RW
Followings are basic agent parameters to configure the SNMP of network device. The NMS
can get basic system information of the router via these parameters. This configuration is
optional:
DGS-3610(config)# snmp-server location fuzhou
DGS-3610(config)# snmp-server contact wugb@i-net.com.cn
DGS-3610(config)# snmp-server chassis-id 1234567890
0987654321
The following configuration is optional; the network device is allowed to send some Trap
messages to the NMS proactively.
DGS-3610(config)# snmp-server enable traps
DGS-3610(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.12.181 public
The SNMP agent is configured for the router by the above configuration. Then, the NMS can
monitor and manage the router. Take HP OpenView as an example and a network topology
is coming into being as follows:
