Configure SNMP Interfaces

Note

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

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Configure the destination and source IP addresses for SNMP traps:

    snmp-server sender-ip {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D}

  3. If required, send the source address (sender IP) as the sender network in the notification message:

    snmp-server force-trap-sender enable

  4. If required, force the SNMP and IP sender flag to use the same value:

    snmp-server force-iphdr-sender enable

Example

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

Variable Definitions

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.
