SNMP Commands
This section describes the commands used to configure SNMP on the switch. You can configure the
switch to act as an SNMP agent so that it can communicate with SNMP managers on your network.
snmp-server
This command sets the name and the physical location of the switch, and the organization responsible
for the network. The parameters name, loc and con can be up to 255 characters in length.
Default none
Format snmp-server {sysname name | location loc | contact con}
Mode Global Config
Note
To clear the snmp-server, enter an empty string in quotes. For example, snmp-server
{sysname “ “} clears the system name.
snmp-server community
This command adds (and names) a new SNMP
community, and optionally sets the access mode,
allowed IP address, and create a view for the community.
Note
Community names in the SNMP Community Table must be unique. When making multiple
entries using the same community name, the first entry is kept and processed and all
duplicate entries are ignored.

•
public, with read-only permissions, a view name of Default, and allows access from all IP
addresses
•
private, with read/write permissions, a view name of Default, and allows access from all IP
addresses.
Format snmp-server community community-string [{ro | rw |su}]
