Configuring the SNMP Agent
To configure the SNMP Agent on a PortServer II, enter a command in the following
format:
snmp [run=off|on] [auth_trap=off|on] [trap_dest=<ipaddress>]
[location=<portserver_id>] [snmp_name=<portserver_name>]
[snmp_contact=<administrator_name>]
• If you set
run=off
, the SNMP daemon is stopped and all SNMP reporting for
the PortServer II is disabled. If you set
run=on
, the SNMP daemon is started and
SNMP reporting is active.
• If you set
auth_trap
to off, PortServer II silently ignores SNMP requests that
fail authentication. If you set
auth_trap
to on, it sends an authentication trap
whenever an authentication error occurs.
•
<portserver_id>
is a text string that describes the location or identity of the
PortServer II in a format that is meaningful to the administrator. Put quotation
marks around the entry if it includes spaces.
•
<portserver_name>
is the name of the PortServer II and is normally the
same as its network name or address.
•
<administrator_name>
is the name of the person who is responsible for
administering the PortServer II.
For example:
snmp run=on auth_trap=off trap_dest=199.99.88.1
location=“portserver #101” snmp_name=blaze
snmp_contact=“bill jones”
