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

of Management Information (SMI) and adds some security
features.

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.
