Chapter 3: Operations 37
Managing the CCM Using SNMP
The CCM provides a set of commands that create and manage SNMP
structures for use by third-party network management products. These
commands cover the following operations:
• Enabling and disabling SNMP UDP port 161 SNMP processing
• Defi ning read, write and trap community names
• Defi ning and deleting up to four SNMP management entity IP addresses
• Enabling and disabling SNMP traps
• Defi ning and deleting up to four trap destination IP addresses
• Defi ning, copying and deleting up to ten alert strings for each port
SNMP is disabled by default.
To enable or disable SNMP processing:
1. To enable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the
Enable parameter. This is the default setting.
SERVER SNMP ENABLE
2. To disable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the
Disable parameter.
SERVER SNMP DISABLE
For more information, see Server SNMP command in Chapter 5.
To specify SNMP community names:
Issue a Server SNMP Community command, using the Readcomm, Writecomm
and Trapcomm parameters to specify community names.
NOTE: The default community names are “public”; if you enable SNMP, you are encouraged to
change the community values to prevent access to the MIB.
SERVER SNMP COMMUNITY READCOMM=<name>
WRITECOMM=<name> TRAPCOMM=<name>
Although all three community names default to public, if you specify a trap
community name with this command, it must be different from the read and
write community names.
For more information, see Server SNMP Community command in Chapter 5.
