Configuring SNMP Parameters and Traps
Page 13-6
e. The following prompt displays:
Special Access? (no): yes
Select whether or not this Network Management Station has special access. If you enter
yes, this NMS will have administrative privileges such as modifying, deleting, or adding to
other trap entries as well as its own. Without special access, an NMS can only update its
own entry. If you choose the default, no, simply press <Enter> at the prompt.
Save your configuration by typing
save and then <Enter>.
f. After you have saved your configuration, the prompt re-displays. The above entries will
create an
NMS number 8 in the list. Traps will be sent to the IP address specified for that
NMS station (provided the NMS state is on and unicast traps are enabled).
To view your new
SNMP configuration, enter the snmpc command. The following is a
sample display of the output from the snmpc command after the above sample configura-
tion:
SNMP current configuration:
1) Process SNMP Packets - enabled
2) Utilization Threshold - 60%
3) Set Community Name - admin
4) Get Community Name - public
5) Trap Community Name - trap1
6) Broadcast Traps - disabled
7) 1 Unicast Traps - enabled
8) NMS IP address - 123.12.1.1 /162 --bffffffff:ffffffff (on) (SA)
-- ffffffff:fffffffff
(save/quit/cancel)
:
The values that appear to the immediate right of the NMS IP address are: the UDP destina-
tion port number (162), the trap bit masks (ffffffff:bfffffff), the functional state of the NMS
(on), and the special access (SA) status (this does not appear if you selected no for special
access in step above).
To add network management stations to this current
SNMP configuration, enter the next
highest entry number from the last defined NMS. For example, if you wanted to add
another NMS to the above sample configuration, you would enter the following:
9=123.22.2.2
