3.3.3.1 Setting the SNMP Community String and Trap Receivers with Software Release
3.3
In the ERS 8000 Series Switch Release 3.3, SNMP community strings and traps are added by
using the two commands shown below. In the 3.3 release, these commands appear in the
configuration file.
• ERS-8606:5# config sys set snmp community < ro|rw|l2|l3|rwa> <commstring>
• ERS-8606:5# config sys set snmp trap-recv <ipaddr> v2c public
Where:
• ro|rw|l2|l3|rwa is the choice of community. ro is read-only, rw is read/write, l2 is
layer 2 read/write, l3 is layer 3 (and layer 2) read/write, and rwa is read/write/all.
• commstr is the input community string up to 1024 characters.
3.3.3.2 Setting the SNMP Community String and Trap Receivers with Software Release
3.5, 4.0, 3.7 and 4.1
The two commands shown above in section 3.3.3.1 are now obsolete. To set the ERS 8600
community strings, enter the following command:
• ERS-8606:5# config snmp-v3 community create <Comm Idx> <name> <security>
[tag <value>]
Where:
config snmp-v3 community create
followed by:
Comm Idx
The unique index value of a row in this table. The
range is 1-32 characters.
name
The community string for which a row in this table
represents a configuration
security
Maps community string to the security name in the
VACM Group Member Table.
tag <value>
(optional)
The transport tag name in the table. The range is 1-32
characters.
In release 3.7 or 4.1, after you save the configuration, information regarding SNMP community
strings are stored in a separate file and will not be found in the configuration file. This is not the
case for software release 3.5.
