Configuring for Network Management Applications Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch CLI: Viewing and Configuring SNMP Community Names Community Name Commands show snmp-server [] [no] snmp-server [community ] [host ] [] [enable traps [enable traps link-change ] Page 13-17 13-18 13-18 13-21 13-29 13-30 Listing Community Names and Values. This command lists the data for currently configured SNMP community names (along with trap receivers and the setting for authentication traps - refer to "SNMP Notifications" on page 13-19). Syntax: show snmp-server [] This example lists the data for all communities in a switch; that is, both the default "public" community name and another community named "blue-team" Default Community and Settings Non-Default Community and Settings Trap Receiver Data (See page 13-19.) Figure 13-7. Example of the SNMP Community Listing with Two Communities To list the data for only one community, such as the "public" community, use the above command with the community name included. For example: ProCurve# show snmp-server public 13-17
