Rapier Switch Software Reference

Software Release 2.5.1

C613-02025-00 REV B

3.

Make the release the default (permanent) release.

If the switch operates correctly with the new release, the release may be
made permanent with the command:

SET INSTALL=PREFERRED RELEASE=86s-210.REZ

Every time the switch reboots from now on, the new release will be loaded
from FLASH.

Other load methods are described in the Operations chapter in the Rapier Switch
Software Reference
.

SNMP and MIBs

The switch’s implementation of SNMP is based on RFC 1157 “A Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP)
”, and RFC 1812, “Requirements for IP Version 4
Routers
”. The SNMP agent is disabled by default. To enable SNMP, use the
command:

ENABLE SNMP

SNMP communities are the main configuration item in the switch’s SNMP
agent, and are defined in terms of a list of IP addresses which define the SNMP
application entities (trap hosts and management stations) in the community.
An SNMP community is created using the command:

CREATE SNMP COMMUNITY=name [ACCESS={READ|WRITE}]

[TRAPHOST=ipadd] [MANAGER=ipadd]

[OPEN={ON|OFF|YES|NO|TRUE|FALSE}]

Authentication failure traps and link state traps can be enabled using the
commands:

ENABLE SNMP AUTHENTICATE_TRAP

ENABLE INTERFACE=interface LINKTRAP

where interface is the name of an interface, such as vlan11.

The command:

SHOW SNMP

displays the current state and configuration of the SNMP agent (Figure 2 on
page 27
).
