Chapter 6 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMP on the GSS
Note
In the pre-v2.0 GSS software, a default community string is set to
public
after you
enable SNMP. After a v2.0 software upgrade, however, no default community
string is set when you enable SNMP.
You can add the
public
community string manually in the v2.0 software as
explained in the steps that follow. Any community strings that you configured in
the pre-v2.0 GSS software will be retained after a v2.0 software upgrade.
4.
Specify an SNMP community name for this GSS device by using the
snmp
community-string
command. Each GSS device then becomes part of the
named community. To change the SNMP community string, enter an
unquoted text string with no space and a maximum length of 32 characters.
When you configure a community-string, location, and SNMP contact, you
have two different options available on the GSS. You can configure them by
using either the pre-v2.0 software CLI or the new v2.0 software CLI:
a.
Using the pre-v2.0 CLI, configure a contact person for this GSS device
with the
snmp contact
command. You can include information on how
to contact a person; for example, a phone number or e-mail address. Enter
an unquoted text string with a maximum of 255 characters including
spaces.

gss-pilot1.cisco.com#
conf
gss-pilot1.cisco.com(config)#
snmp contact
Enter new Contact Info:
Joe Smith [email protected]
gss-pilot1.cisco.com(config)#
b.
Using the v2.0 CLI, configure a contact for this GSS device with the
snmp-server contact
command. Enter an unquoted text string with a
maximum of 255 characters without any spaces.

gss-pilot1.cisco.com#
conf
gss-pilot1.cisco.com(config)#
snmp-server contact
gss-pilot1.cisco.com(config)#
5.
Disable SNMP or any of the parameters outlined above by using the
no
form
of the
snmp
command. For example, to disable the SNMP contacts for the
GSS, enter:
gss1.example.com(config)#
no snmp contact
