create snmp host
Purpose
Used to create a recipient of SNMP traps generated by the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Syntax
create snmp host <ipaddr> [v1 | v2c | v3 [noauth_nopriv | auth_nopriv | auth_priv]
<auth_string 32>]
Description The
create snmp host
command creates a recipient of SNMP traps generated by the
Switch’s SNMP agent.
Parameters
<ipaddr>
−
The IP address of the remote management station that will serve as the SNMP
host for the Switch.
v1
– Specifies that SNMP version 1 will be used. The Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), version 1, is a network management protocol that provides a means to
monitor and control network devices.
v2c
– Specifies that SNMP version 2c will be used. The SNMP v2c supports both
centralized and distributed network management strategies. It includes improvements in
the Structure of Management Information (SMI) and adds some security features.
v3
– Specifies that the SNMP version 3 will be used. SNMP v3 provides secure access to
devices through a combination of authentication and encrypting packets over the network.
SNMP v3 adds:
•
Message integrity
−
ensures that packets have not been tampered with during
transit.
•
Authentication
−
determines if an SNMP message is from a valid source.
•
Encryption
−
scrambles the contents of messages to prevent it being viewed by
an unauthorized source.
noauth_nopriv
−
Specifies that there will be no authorization and no encryption of packets
sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manager.
auth_nopriv
−
Specifies that authorization will be required, but there will be no encryption
of packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manager.
auth_priv
−
Specifies that authorization will be required, and that packets sent between the
Switch and a remote SNMP manger will be encrypted.
<auth_sting 32>
−
An alphanumeric string used to authorize a remote SNMP manager to
access the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Restrictions Only
administrator-level users can issue this command.
