Controlling Management Access to the ProCurve Secure Router
Using SNMP to Manage the ProCurve Secure Router
Sending Informs. To send informs (which require a response) to a server,
from the global configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: snmp-server host <ip address> informs [version 1 <community> | version 2c
<community> | version 3 {auth <username> | noauth <username> | priv <username>}]
[snmp]
Table 2-14 lists the options for the snmp-server host command:
Table 2-14. Configuration Options for snmp-server host Command
For example, to send all SNMP traps to the SNMP server at address 10.1.1.1
using community string CommunityXYZ, enter:
ProCurve(config)# snmp-server host 10.1.1.1 traps CommunityXYZ snmp
Specify the Response Retry Attempts and Wait Time
You can configure the number of times the ProCurve Secure Router attempts
to contact an SNMP server and the amount of time the router waits to receive
a response before sending a new request. These settings apply to SNMP inform
notifications, which, unlike traps, are two-way messages: the managed device
that sends the message waits for an acknowledgement from the SNMP server.
Option Meaning
<ip address> Specifies the IP address of the SNMP server. IP addresses
should be expressed in dotted decimal notation (for example,
10.10.10.1).
informs Enables informs to this SNMP server.
traps Enables traps to this SNMP server.
version [1 | 2c | 3] Specifies the SNMP security model version. If the version is
not specified, version 1 is used.
[auth | noauth | priv] Specifies the security level for SNMP v3:
• The auth option requires authentication.
• The noauth option does not require authentication or
encryption.
• The priv option requires authentication with encryption.
<community> Specifies the community string.
snmp Enables the sending of the SNMP (RFC 1157) notification
type. (See Table 2-13 on page 2-61.)
