16.5.4 ADDING MULTIPLE REMOTE SNMP MANAGERS
You can add multiple SNMP servers for alert traps. Add the first and second SNMP servers using the Management Console (see
Chapter 8) or the command line config tool. Further SNMP servers must be added manually using config.
Log in to the console server’s command line shell as root or an admin user.
Set the SNMP Manager Address field:
config –set="config.system.snmp.address3=w.x.y.z"
replacing w.x.y.z with the IP address or hostname.
Set the Manager Trap Port field:
config --set=”config.system.snmp.trapport3=162”
replacing 162 with the TCP/UDP port number
Set the SNMP Manager Protocol field:
config --set="config.system.snmp.protocol3=UDP"
or
config --set="config.system.snmp.protocol3=TCP"
Set the SNMP Manager Version field:
config --set="config.system.snmp.version3=3"
Set the SNMP Manager v1 & v2c community field:
config --set="config.system.snmp.community3=public"
Set the SNMP Manager v3 Engine ID field:
config –set="config.system.snmp.engineid3=0x8000000001020304"
replacing 0x8000000001020304 with the hex Engine-ID.
Set the SNMP Manager v3 Security Level field:
config --set="config.system.snmp.seclevel3=noAuthNoPriv"
or
config --set="config.system.snmp.seclevel3=authNoPriv"
or
config --set="config.system.snmp.seclevel3=authPriv"
