SNMP Settings
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) lets a network administrator
monitor problems on a network by retrieving settings on remote network devices.
The network administrator typically runs an SNMP management station program
on a local host to obtain information from an SNMP agent such as the Cayman
Gateway.
Adds the specified name to the list of communities associated with the Cayman
Gateway. By default, the Cayman Gateway is associated with the public commu-
nity. You can associate as many as 16 communities with the Cayman Gateway.
Enables or disables SNMP trapping. If SNMP trapping is enabled, your Cayman
Gateway sends authentication traps to all SNMP trap destinations. You must
enable trap authentication before you set up your trap destinations.
Identifies the destination for SNMP trap messages. The ip-address argument is
the IP address of the host acting as an SNMP console. The optional
community
community-name identifies the name of the Cayman Gateway
community, which is included in the trap message the device sends to the man-
agement console. This name, which is not used for authentication, does not have
to match a predefined community name.
Identifies the system contact, such as the name, phone number, beeper number,
or email address of the person responsible for the Cayman Gateway. You can
enter up to 256 characters for the contact_info argument. You must put the
contact_info
argument in double-quotes if it contains embedded spaces. .
Identifies the location, such as the building, floor, or room number, of the Cay-
man Gateway. You can enter up to 256 characters for the location_info argu-
ment. You must put the location_info argument in double-quotes if it
contains embedded spaces.
System Settings
You can configure system settings to assign a name to your Cayman Gateway and
to specify what types of messages you want the diagnostic log to record.
Specifies the name of your Cayman Gateway. Each Cayman Gateway is assigned
a name as part of its factory initialization. The default name for a Cayman Gate-
way consists of the word “Cayman-2E” and the serial number of the device; for
example, Cayman-2E810700. A system name can be 1-64 characters long. Once
BOTH set snmp community name
BOTH set snmp traps authentication-traps { on | off }
BOTH set snmp traps ip-traps ip-address [ community community-name ]
BOTH set snmp sysgroup contact contact_info
BOTH set snmp sysgroup location location_info
BOTH set system name name
