Implementing SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that provides a message
format for communication between SNMP managers and agents. SNMP provides a standardized framework
and a common language used for the monitoring and management of devices in a network.
This module describes the tasks you need to implement SNMP on your Cisco IOS XR network.

Prerequisites for Implementing SNMP
You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command
reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is
preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Restrictions for SNMP use on Cisco IOS XR Software
SNMP outputs are only 32-bits wide and therefore cannot display any information greater than 2
32
. 2
32
is
equal to 4.29 Gigabits.
A10 Gigabit interface is greater than 2
32
, so if you are trying to display speed information regarding the
interface, you might see concatenated results.
Note
To display correct speed of an interface greater than 10 Gigabit, ifHighSpeed can be used.
