Configure SNMP Interfaces

Note

This procedure only applies to VSP 8600 Series.

Configure an interface to send SNMP traps. If the switch has multiple interfaces, configure the IP interface from which the SNMP traps originate.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Configure the destination and source IP addresses for SNMP traps:

snmp-server sender-ip {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D}
If required, send the source address (sender IP) as the sender network in the notification message:

snmp-server force-trap-sender enable
If required, force the SNMP and IP sender flag to use the same value:

snmp-server force-iphdr-sender enable

Switch:1(config)#snmp-server sender-ip 192.0.2.2 192.0.2.5
Switch:1(config)#no snmp-server force-iphdr-sender enable

The following table defines parameters for the snmp-server command.


Variable	Value
sender-ip `<A.B.C.D>` `<A.B.C.D>` Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Configures the SNMP trap receiver and source IP addresses. Specify the IP address of the destination SNMP server that receives the SNMP trap notification in the first IP address. Specify the source IP address of the SNMP trap notification packet that is transmitted in the second IP address. If this address is 0.0.0.0, the system uses the IP address of the local interface that is closest (from an IP routing table perspective) to the destination SNMP server.
force-iphdr-sender enable Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Automatically configures the SNMP and IP sender to the same value. The default is disabled.
force-trap-sender enable Note: Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.	Sends the configured source address (sender IP) as the sender network in the notification message.
authentication-trap enable	Activates the generation of authentication traps.
login-success-trap enable	Activates the generation of traps for successful login.

The following table defines parameters for the snmp-server host command.


Variable	Value
`WORD<1-256>`	Specifies either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
port `<1-65535>`	Specifies the host server port number.
`WORD<1-32>`	Specifies the security name, which identifies the principal that generates SNMP messages.
filter `WORD<1-32>`	Specifies the filter profile to use.
