Configuring SNMPv2 Parameters
By default, SNMP is disabled. You can enable SNMP and configure its parameters (e.g. community, contact, location).
admin@XorPlus# set protocols snmp community Pica8-data-center admin@XorPlus# set protocols snmp community Pica8-data-center authorization read-only admin@XorPlus# set protocols snmp contact support@pica8.com admin@XorPlus# set protocols snmp location Beijing admin@XorPlus# set protocols snmp trap-group targets 10.10.1.1 security-name Pica8-data-center admin@XorPlus# set protocols snmp trap-group version v2 admin@XorPlus# commit Waiting for merging configuration. Commit OK. Save done. admin@XorPlus#
In version 2.8.1,security-name has to be configured for trap-group targets whichever the version is .
Configuring an SNMP ACL
By default, all hosts can snmpwalk the information of the switch. Configure an SNMP ACL to control which hosts within the subnetwork can snmpwalk the switch.
admin@XorPlus# set system snmp-acl network 1.1.1.0/24 admin@XorPlus# set system snmp-acl network 2.2.2.0/24 admin@XorPlus# commit Waiting for merging configuration. Commit OK. Save done. admin@XorPlus#
Configuring SNMPset
User can use "snmpset" (OID1.3.6.1.4.1.35098.2.0.0) to load a configuration and can use "snmpset" (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.35098.2.1.0) to delete or load a configuration. However, only set and delete commands can be included in the command batch (which is OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.35098.2.1.0). Other commands are invalid and ignored. Note that clearing a dependent configuration is not allowed.
admin@XorPlus# set protocols snmp community private authorization read-write admin@XorPlus# commit Waiting for merging configuration. Commit OK. Save done.
Using snmpset to load a filter configuration:
root@dev:~# snmpset -v 2c -c private IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.35098.2.0.0 s "tftp:1.1.5.1:/pica8/acl.conf" iso.3.6.1.4.1.35098.2.0.0 = STRING: "tftp:1.1.5.1:/pica8/acl.conf"
Using snmpset to delete a filter configuration:
root@dev:~# snmpset -v 2c -c private IP .1.3.6.1.4.1.35098.2.1.0 s "tftp:1.1.5.1:/pica8/delete-acl.conf" iso.3.6.1.4.1.35098.2.0.0 = STRING: "tftp:1.1.5.1:/pica8/delete-acl.conf"
