Managing the CCM Using SNMP
The CCM provides a set of commands that create and manage SNMP
structures for use by third-party network management products. These
commands cover the following operations:
Enabling and disabling SNMP UDP port 161 SNMP processing
De ning read, write and trap community names
De ning and deleting up to four SNMP management entity IP addresses
Enabling and disabling SNMP traps
De ning and deleting up to four trap destination IP addresses
De ning, copying and deleting up to ten alert strings for each port
SNMP is disabled by default.
To enable or disable SNMP processing:
1. To enable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the
Enable parameter. This is the default setting.
SERVER SNMP ENABLE
2. To disable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the
Disable parameter.
SERVER SNMP DISABLE
For more information, see Server SNMP command in Chapter 5.
To specify SNMP community names:
Issue a Server SNMP Community command, using the Readcomm, Writecomm
and Trapcomm parameters to specify community names.
NOTE: The default community names are public; if you enable SNMP, you are encouraged to
change the community values to prevent access to the MIB.
SERVER SNMP COMMUNITY READCOMM=<name>
WRITECOMM=<name> TRAPCOMM=<name>
Although all three community names default to public, if you specify a trap
community name with this command, it must be different from the read and
write community names.
For more information, see Server SNMP Community command in Chapter 5.
