Configuring Identity Information
This command enables you to enter contact-person and location data to help
identify the switch.
Syntax: snmp-server [contact <contact-str>] [location <location-str>]
Both fields allow up to 48 characters, without spaces.
For example, to configure the switch with "Site-LAN-Ext.449" and a location
of "Level-2-North", you would execute the following command:
HP2512(config)# snmp-server contact Site-LANExt.449 location Level-2-North
Configuring Community Names and Values
If you enter a community name without an operator or manager designation,
the switch automatically assigns the community to Operator for the MIB view.
Also, if you do not specify restricted or unrestricted for the read/write MIB
access, the switch automatically restricts the community to read access for
the MIB.
Adding SNMP Communities in the Switch. The following SNMP com-
mand examples use add snmp to add new SNMP communities:
Syntax: snmp-server community <community-name>
[operator | manager]
[restricted | unrestricted]
HP2512(config)# snmp-server community red-team
manager unrestricted
HP2512(config)# snmp-server community blue-team
operator restricted
