Configuring the NAM
Configuring the SNMP Agent
Note
If you are using the NAM Traffic Analyzer application, the information in this section is optional.
You can configure the SNMP agent through the CLI or the NAM Traffic Analyzer application. Before
you can use the NAM for SNMP support or in hybrid mode using an external SNMP source or a web
server, you must log into the NAM root account and configure the following:
•
SNMP MIB variables
•
Access control for the SNMP agent
•
System group settings on the NAM
To configure these parameters for NAM, perform these steps in privileged mode:
Step 1
Configure the SNMP
sysLocation MIB variable by entering this command:
root@localhost#
snmp location
location-string
Note
The MIB variables you enter in
Step 13
and
Step 14
must be valid DisplayString texts, each with a
maximum length of 64 characters.
Step 2
Set the SNMP sysContact MIB variable by entering this command:
root@localhost#
snmp contact
contact-string
Step 3
Set the SNMP
sysName MIB variable by entering this command:
root@localhost#
snmp name
name-string
Note
You can delete the SNMP location, SNMP contact, or SNMP name by entering the
appropriate command without any parameters.
Step 4
Set the SNMP agent community string parameter password for read-write access by entering this
command:
root@localhost#
snmp community
community-string
rw
Step 5
Set the SNMP agent community string parameter password for read-only access by entering this
command:
root@localhost#
snmp community
community-string
ro
Note
Clear the SNMP community string with the
snmp delete community
community-string
command.
Step 6
Verify the SNMP access controls and settings by entering this command:
root@localhost#
show snmp
