Entering system administration information
You can configure a system name, contact, and location for the device and save the information
locally in the configuration file for future reference. The information is not required for system
operation but recommended. When you configure a system name, it replaces the default system
name in the CLI command prompt.
To configure a system name, contact, and location, enter commands such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# hostname home
home(config)# snmp-server contact Suzy Sanchez
home(config)# snmp-server location Centerville
home(config)# end
home# write memory
The system name you configure home replaces the system name BigIron RX.
Syntax: hostname <string>
Syntax: snmp-server contact <string>
Syntax: snmp-server location <string>
The name, contact, and location each can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The text strings
can contain blanks. The SNMP text strings do not require quotation marks when they contain
blanks but the host name does.
NOTE
The chassis name command does not change the CLI prompt. Instead, the command assigns an
administrative ID to the device.
Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol traps
This section explains how to do the following:
•
Specify an SNMP trap receiver.
•
Specify a source address and community string for all traps that the device sends.
•
Change the holddown time for SNMP traps.
•
Disable individual SNMP traps. (All traps are enabled by default.)
•
Disable traps for CLI access that is authenticated by a local user account, a RADIUS server, or
a TACACS and TACACS+ server.
NOTE
To add and modify “get” (read-only) and “set” (read-write) community strings, refer to
