Configuring Identity Information

This command enables you to enter contact-person and location data to help
identify the switch.

Syntax:

snmp-server [contact <contact-str>] [location <location-str>]

Both fields allow up to 48 characters, without spaces.

For example, to configure the switch with “Site-LAN-Ext.449” and a location
of “Level-2-North,” you would execute the following command:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# snmp-server contact Site-LANExt.449 location
Level-2-North

Configuring Community Names and Values

If you enter a community name without an

operator or manager designation,

the switch automatically assigns the community to Operator for the MIB view.
Also, if you do not specify restricted or unrestricted for the read/write MIB
access, the switch automatically restricts the community to read access for
the MIB.

Adding SNMP Communities in the Switch.

The following SNMP com-

mand examples use

add snmp to add new SNMP communities:

Syntax:

snmp-server community <community-name>

[operator | manager]
[restricted | unrestricted]

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# snmp-server community

red-team manager unrestricted

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# snmp-server community

blue-team operator restricted
