SNMP

This section permits parameters to be defined for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) management of the device.

configure SNMP

Keywords

After entering the configure command for the section, enter one or more of the following keywords.

Enabled = {On | Off}

The keyword Enabled allows SNMP management of the device to be completely enabled or disabled. When set to Off, no SNMP management will be allowed by the device.

SetsEnabled = {On | Off}

The SetsEnabled keyword controls whether SNMP sets can be applied to a device.

TrapsEnabled = {On | Off}

The TrapsEnabled keyword controls whether SNMP traps will be reported by the device when trap conditions are encountered.

Cisco Systems devices support the following SNMP Traps (as outlined in RFC 1157):

coldStart - this will be generated when a restart to save a configuration or software download is accomplished.

warmStart - this will be generated when a restart event is received.

linkDown - this will be generated from a WAN interface when a link is dropped due to abnormal conditions, such as lost carrier, lost PVC, etc.

linkUp - this will be generated from a WAN interface when a link which was lost due to abnormal conditions comes back up.

authenticationFailure - this will be generated when a protocol message is not properly authenticated.

AdminName = String

The keyword AdminName allows the administrator name of the device to be specified. This information is returned when queried for SNMP System Information by an SNMP console. The string can be up to 255 characters in length and contain special characters.

The administrator name usually specifies who is responsible for the equipment. Items that can be included might be the administrator's name, phone number, office number, etc.

Domain = String

The keyword Domain allows the domain name of the device to be specified. This information is returned when queried for SNMP System Information by an SNMP console. The string can be up to 255 characters in length and contain special characters.

The domain name usually has network-specific information about the device. Items that can be specified include the device's DNS name, its TCP/IP domain, or the cable segment or subnet that it is connected to. This variable is independent from the actual DNS record for the device and is used to provide information to external managers.

Location = String

The Location keyword allows the location of the device to be specified. This information is returned when queried for SNMP System Information by an SNMP console. The string can be up to 255 characters in length and contain special characters.

The location usually has information about where the equipment is physically located. The building, room and rack are examples of information that could be specified for this parameter.

Enabled = {On \| Off}	The keyword Enabled allows SNMP management of the device to be completely enabled or disabled. When set to Off, no SNMP management will be allowed by the device.
