SNMP version 3 traps
40
Backward compatibility with SMIv1 trap format
The Dell PowerConnect device will continue to support creation of traps in SMIv1 format, as before.
To allow the device to send notifications in SMIv2 format, configure the device as described above.
The default mode is still the original SMIv1 format.
Specifying an IPv6 host as an SNMP trap receiver
You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the device will
go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the
network. To do so, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect (config)#snmp-server host ipv6 2001:efff:89::13
Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
SNMP v3 over IPv6
Some PowerConnect devices support IPv6 for SNMP version 3.
Restricting SNMP Access to an IPv6 Node
You can restrict SNMP access so that the Dell PowerConnect device (including IronView Network
Manager) can only be accessed by the IPv6 host address that you specify. To do so, enter a
command such as the following .
PowerConnect (config)#snmp-client ipv6 2001:efff:89::23
Syntax: snmp-client ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
Specifying an IPv6 host as an SNMP trap receiver
You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the Dell
PowerConnect device will go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or
more host devices on the network. To do so, enter a command such as the following .
PowerConnect(config)#snmp-server host ipv6 2001:efff:89::13
Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
Viewing IPv6 SNMP server addresses
Many of the existing show commands display IPv6 addresses for IPv6 SNMP servers. The following
example shows output for the show snmp server command.
