Setting Up SNMP Community Strings
To use SNMP to manage the 6SSRM-02, you need to set up an SNMP community on the
6SSRM-02. Otherwise, the 6SSRM-02’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode until you
disable it using the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access the SNMP
traps issued by the 6SSRM-02’s SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address of the target for
the SNMP traps.
To add the SNMP community string and specify the target for traps, take the following steps:
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
3.
Use the following commands to add an SNMP community string and set a target for the traps.
Note:
The target IP address must be locally attached to the 6SSRM-02. You cannot specify
a target that is connected to the 6SSRM-02 by another router. If the IP address is
more than one hop away from the 6SSRM-02, configure the 6SSRM-02 with a static
route to the target so that a cold start trap is sent.
4.
Enter the show command to examine the changes accumulated in the scratchpad.
5.
Enter the save active command to activate the commands you entered in the previous steps.
6.
To verify the changes, enter the snmp show all command.
snmp set community

snmp set target
<IP-addr>
