Restricting SNMP Access to an IPv6 Node
You can restrict SNMP access so that the Brocade device can only be accessed by the IPv6 host
address that you specify. To do so, enter a command such as the following .
device(config)#snmp-client ipv6 2001:DB8:89::23
Syntax:
snmp-clientipv6
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 Brocade
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 the
snmp-server host ipv6
command .
device(config)#snmp-server host ipv6 2001:DB8:89::13
Syntax:
snmp-serverhost
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.
device#show snmp server
