System Management Guide SNMP
Edition: 01 3HE 11018 AAAC TQZZA 195
4.3 Configuration Notes
This section describes SNMP configuration guidelines and caveats.
• To avoid management systems attempting to manage a partially booted system,
SNMP will remain in a shutdown state if the configuration file fails to complete
during system startup. While shut down, SNMP gets and sets are not processed.
However, notifications are issued if an SNMP trap group has been configured.
In order to enable SNMP, the portions of the configuration that failed to load
must be initialized properly. Start SNMP with the config>system>snmp>no
shutdown command.
• Use caution when changing the SNMP engine ID. If the SNMP engine ID is
changed in the config>system>snmp>engineID engine-id context, the current
configuration must be saved and a reboot must be executed. If the configuration
is not saved and the system is not rebooted, the previously configured SNMP
communities and logger trap-target notify communities will not be valid for the
new engine ID.
