enable snmp access
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 175
enable snmp access
enable snmp access
Description
Turns on SNMP support for SNMPv3 and v1/v2c on the switch.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
Enabled.
Usage Guidelines
To have access to the SNMP agent residing in the switch, at least one VLAN must have an IP address
assigned to it.
Any network manager running SNMP can manage the switch (for v1/v2c), provided the MIB is
installed correctly on the management station. Each network manager provides its own user interface to
the management facilities.
For SNMPv3, additional security keys are used to control access, so an SNMPv3 manager is required for
this type of access.
This command enables both v1/v2c and v3 access, so the switch can be accessed with either method.
Use the following commands to allow only v3 access:
enable snmp access
disable snmp access snmp-v1v2c
Use the following command to prevent any SNMP access:
disable snmp access
There is no way to disable v3 access and allow v1/v2c access
Example
The following command enables all SNMP access for the switch:
enable snmp access
History
Support for SNMPv3 was added in ExtremeWare 7.1.0.
This command was first available in ExtremeWare 2.0.
