Chapter 3: Operations 39
Managing SNMP Structures
The CPS 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
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.
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.
To add or delete SNMP management entity addresses:
1. To add an SNMP management entity address, issue a Server SNMP
Manager command with the Add parameter and the management
entity’s IP address. You may defi ne up to four SNMP management entity
addresses, using separate commands.
SERVER SNMP MANAGER ADD <ip_address>
