snmp-agent community { read |

Configur

snmp-agent group { v1 | v2c }

right

Configur
e
indirectly

Add a
new user
to an
SNMP
group

snmp-agent usm-user { v1 | v2c }
user-name group-name [ acl
acl-number ]

Use either approach.

To be compatible with SNMPv3,
use the snmp-agent group
command.

Ensure that the username is the
same as the community name
configured on the NMS.

Configure the maximum size of an
SNMP packet that can be received
or sent by an SNMP agent

snmp-agent packet max-size
byte-count

Optional

2000 bytes by default

Set the local access controller as
the SNMP proxy agent for an
SNMP agent

snmp-agent proxy { ip
ipv4-address | ipv6 ipv6-address }

Optional

z

The validity of a USM user depends on the engine ID of the SNMP agent. If the engine ID when the

USM user is created is not identical to the current engine ID, the USM user is invalid.

z

A MIB view is a subset of MIB and is uniquely identified by its view name and the MIB subtree

together. MIB views with the same view name but containing different subtrees are considered as

different views. Except default MIB views, you can create at most 16 MIB views.

Configuring SNMP Logging

Introduction to SNMP Logging

The SNMP logging function logs the GET and SET operations that the NMS performs on the SNMP

agent:

z

For a GET operation, the agent logs the IP address of the NMS, name of the accessed node, and

OID of the node.

z

For a SET operation, the agent logs the IP address of the NMS, name of the accessed node, OID of

the node, the assigned value and the error code and error index of the SET response.

SNMP logs Get requests, Set requests and Set responses, but does not log Get responses.

The SNMP module sends these logs to the information center as informational messages. You may

output these messages to certain destinations, for example, the console and the log buffer by

configuring the information center to output informational messages to these destinations. For more

information about the information center, see Information Center in the Network Management and

Monitoring Configuration Guide.
