Configuring SNMP Chapter 26 Configuring SNMP Note Though visible in the command-line help strings, the cpu [threshold], insertion, and removal keywords are not supported. To enable the sending of SNMP inform notifications, use the snmp-server enable traps global configuration command combined with the snmp-server host host-addr informs global configuration command. You can use the snmp-server host global configuration command to a specific host to receive the notification types listed in Table 26-5. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to send traps or informs to a host: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Command configure terminal snmp-server engineID remote ip-address engineid-string snmp-server user username groupname {remote host [udp-port port]} {v1 [access access-list] | v2c [access access-list] | v3 [encrypted] [access access-list] [auth {md5 | sha} auth-password]} snmp-server group groupname {v1 | v2c | v3 {auth | noauth | priv}} [read readview] [write writeview] [notify notifyview] [access access-list] snmp-server host host-addr [informs | traps] [version {1 | 2c | 3 {auth | noauth | priv}}] community-string [notification-type] Purpose Enter global configuration mode. Specify the engine ID for the remote host. Configure an SNMP user to be associated with the remote host created in Step 2. Note You cannot configure a remote user for an address without first configuring the engine ID for the remote host. Otherwise, you receive an error message, and the command is not executed. Configure an SNMP group. Specify the recipient of an SNMP trap operation. • For host-addr, specify the name or Internet address of the host (the targeted recipient). • (Optional) Enter informs to send SNMP informs to the host. • (Optional) Enter traps (the default) to send SNMP traps to the host. • (Optional) Specify the SNMP version (1, 2c, or 3). SNMPv1 does not support informs. • (Optional) For Version 3, select authentication level auth, noauth, or priv. Note The priv keyword is available only when the cryptographic software image is installed. • For community-string, when version 1 or version 2c is specified, enter the password-like community string sent with the notification operation. When version 3 is specified, enter the SNMPv3 username. • (Optional) For notification-type, use the keywords listed in Table 26-5 on page 26-12. If no type is specified, all notifications are sent. 26-14 Catalyst 2960 Switch Software Configuration Guide OL-8603-04
