create snmp host
Purpose Used to create a recipient of SNMP traps generated by the
Switch’s SNMP agent.
Syntax
create snmp host <ipaddr> [v1 | v2c | v3 [noauth_nopriv |
auth_nopriv | auth_priv]] <auth_string 32>
Description
The create snmp host command creates a recipient of SNMP
traps generated by the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Parameters
<ipaddr> − The IP address of the remote management station
that will serve as the SNMP host for the Switch.
v1 – Specifies that SNMP version 1 will be used. The Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), version 1, is a network
management protocol that provides a means to monitor and
control network devices.
v2c – Specifies that SNMP version 2c will be used. The SNMP
v2c supports both centralized and distributed network
management strategies. It includes improvements in the Structure
of Management Information (SMI) and adds some security
features.
v3 – Specifies that the SNMP version 3 will be used. SNMP v3
provides secure access to devices through a combination of
authentication and encrypting packets over the network. SNMP
v3 adds:
Message integrity − Ensures that packets have not been
tampered with during transit.
Authentication − Determines if an SNMP message is from
a valid source.
Encryption − Scrambles the contents of messages to
prevent it being viewed by an unauthorized source.
noauth_nopriv − Specifies that there will be no authorization and
no encryption of packets sent between the Switch and a remote
SNMP manager.
auth_nopriv − Specifies that authorization will be required, but
there will be no encryption of packets sent between the Switch
and a remote SNMP manager.
auth_priv − Specifies that authorization will be required, and that
packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manger
will be encrypted.
<auth_sting 32> − An alphanumeric string used to authorize a
remote SNMP manager to access the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
